Musuem of Fine Arts!!!!




We learned so much on our two field trips to the Museum of Fine Arts! What a privilege for us!  We studied different styles of painting like impressionism, fauvism, pointilism and portraits. Some of us learned about pre-Columbian art and sculpture. One group saw art made by the Hopi Indians! What is one interesting painting, vessel or sculpture you learned about? What was your favorite art that you created at the Glassell School? Why?  Write at least four complete sentences!!!

China and Argentina





There is a wonderful database called Culture Grams on the Lower School Library.  Please hit the red Culture Grams and briefly read about China and Argentina. 

After reading about each country, please think of some interesting questions that you could research on this database or another source! Think of two questions for China and two questions for Argentina. Be thoughtful and please don't repeat a questions that someone else has typed!

Happy New Years!!!




It's a new year and time to think about what we want to do differently.  It's a great time to set goals for yourself and resolve to do something new and good.  There is always room for improvement in the coming year for all of us.  What are your New Year resolutions, or promises, that you want to work on in 2013?  Write a least three to four goals and tell us why you chose those particular ones.  For example, I know that I want to continue to exercise, but I want to exercise even more.  Exercise gives me energy and helps me to stay in shape.  I also want to eat healthier because it is good for my body, skin, and my overall health.  Another resolution I want to accomplish is to relax more.  I think relaxing is good for you and it takes away a lot of stress.  My last resolution is to spend lots of time with  my family and friends. They are important to me, so I want to be with them a lot this coming year.  Let's hear yours!!!
