Nos Artistes!

Check out this beautiful art board!


For our first art project, we experimented with mixing colours. We first stamped several black circles with cups and paint, being careful to overlap some of them. Next, we used oil pastels to colour each circle in a primary colour. In doing this, we created the secondary colours in the overlapping areas. Finally, we decorated the background by painting the bottom of a cork and stamping water colour circles around our pastel circles. I think this project is super cool, and they all look great!

Because I think that everything looks amazing in a frame, I have decided to choose two artists each month to feature as our "Artistes du Mois". Everyone will eventually get a turn having their art framed and hung in the class. Here are our September artists! Ask your child who they are!



Below is our list of words containing, beginning or ending with the sound 'a' (as in 'cat'). Several were found by the students on posters in our classroom. I encourage you to practise reading them with your child!


Bonne fin de semaine!
