Oct. 12-14

We had a short, but very eventful week in 2B. On Monday and Tuesday, we took time to create some artwork, experiment with an ipad app project, enjoy math centers, and read some interesting books. Then on Wednesday, our class went to the St. Louis Art Museum, where we got to see paintings by Picasso, Monet, and Seurat, just to name a few.  These are all artists that we will study this year. Then in the afternoon, our class traveled to the F.I.S.H. pantry where we dropped off at least 20 bags of donated goods, and then got a tour of the pantry. It was really cool to see how members of our community are serving others on a daily basis. It was also great for the kids to see how blessed they are, and that they can serve others as well. Thank you to all of those who helped organize this outing, planned our Harvest Party, and accompanied us on our trips. It was a great day, all thanks to you!
