Our trip to Osprey Point was a lot of fun!  We hiked and found the big tree!  It is an oak tree that is over 100 years old!  After our hike and a snack, we played two games.  One was called What time is it Mr. Fox?  The other was a relay race.  We had to walk with a plastic Easter egg on a spoon.  Here are a few pictures of the big tree.

After we got back to school we did a few activities with some nature items that we collected.  We made bookmarks with contact paper.  We also used nature items to decorate some heads.  Here are a few of those pictures.  They are so creative!

An art update from Mrs. I. -

Students in first grade are having an introduction to Art History. We learned about our Art History time line, and viewed the Cave Paintings of Lascaux, France. These are beautiful paintings from early man with animals, such as wild cattle, bison and horses. Students are now creating their own cave paintings stories. 

Our Elementary Art Show will be held, Thursday, May 11th in the St. Matt's Gathering space along with the book fair. Student work will be on display through out the weekend masses.
