Georgia O'Keeffe

We learned about artist, Georgia O'Keeffe, last Wednesday.  Georgia began painting as a young girl and always knew that she wanted to be an artist.  Early on, some of Georgia's teachers tried to change her style. However, Georgia became a great painter and painted until close to her death in her 90's.

Georgia is famous for her paintings of flowers so for Mother's Day, we painted and decorated flower pots. We attached poems to cutout hand tracing and put those in our flower pots along with Impatiens.  They loved lovely! 

We also read the M&M Counting Book last week.  The boys counted and sorted the M&M's by color and graphed them.  They did excellent!  

We'll spend part of tomorrow ty-dying shirt.  Please send your child with a plain white t-shirt if he has one. 

Also, we'll be celebrating the last day of class.  I know, I can't believe that the day is already here!  We are going to go out with a bang tomorrow and I'm expecting it to be one of our best class days yet!
