Special Project Group First Meeting

We had a great first meeting with my 4th graders Special Project Group!  We discussed ways to save water and did a variety of activities.  We ended the hour with an un ordinary coloring sheet, which I think was the kids favorite part!

The app is called colAR mix.  The bird is free, but to get access to the other pages, it's a $2.99 fee.  Works best with leaving the background white.  The group was pretty impressed!  I look forward to our next meeting! 

Happy Peace Day!

For the third year, Pecatonica Elementary students participated in the International Peace Day!  During art last week, students created pinwheels and listened to The Peace Book by Todd Parr.

Here are all the pinwheels in the display case waiting to be "planted!"

This morning, all of the students planted their pinwheels in front of the school for "whirled" peace!

I even took a little video of the peaceful pinwheels spinning in the wind....

Ask your child what peace means to them tonight!  Their answer might surprise you!

Pinwheels for Peace and Cool FREE stuff!

The children have been hard at work on their couple of "have to" projects for me this week!  After watching the video of Todd Parr reading his book, The Peace Book, we decorated pinwheels.  On Friday, September 20th, we will plant our pinwheels in front of the school to celebrate the International Peace Day on the 21st!  The past two years, we have been featured on the 5 and 6 o'clock WREX 13 news!

Mr. Dale delivered us a box today that contained a bunch of FREE art supplies from Sargant Art Supplier!  We love free stuff!
