Feed My Starving Children
Today we took our first field trip of the school year to Brookfield Lutheran Church, where we participated in the "Feed My Starving Children" program. The 5th through 8th graders had the opportunity to prepare hundreds of meals for starving children around the world - something they will not soon forget!

Fall has arrived and so has some great art!
What a change - we've gone from HOT and HUMID to COOl and CRISP! Last week we couldn't seem to get any air to flow through our classroom and this week there were times when we actually closed the windows because of the chill in the air!
We had a great week - we're on our way to Mexico in geography, learning more about IQBAL in literature, and starting our first writing project of the year. The pace has been fast and everyone is adjusting well. Great job, kids!
Here are some of our finished art projects that show what has been learned about primary, secondary, and tertiary colors. Now we're moving on to something a little more challenging . . . watercolor still lifes in the style of Cezanne. Come back next week to see how they turned out.

Getting To Know You
The school year is off to a great start! In spite of the high heat and humidity, everyone worked very hard this week. I'm looking forward to a year filled with new projects and activities.
