Prektiss, Prektiss, PREKTISS! Third Grade Trip to Carnegie Hall!

We know very little about what is actually happening in these photos except what we see: Our third grade kiddos jamming with a live orchestra at Carnegie Hall! Can it get more awesome than this? 

Thank you, Jonathan for making this trip a possibility!

The Roving Parent: Nature and Books Inspire

The first grade learned about and visited Prospect Park as part of

the 1st grade green space study. The kids from Jenny's class made oil pastel landscapes:

Here's another from Jenny's 1st grade class: They combined their study of Eric Carle with a study of squirrels. They each painted their own watercolors and then cut out their own squirrel patterns.  This is how they came out! 

Thanks, Ann Marie Matava, for these great pics!
