Welcome Back!

I hope you all had a wonderful Spring Break with your student and were able to relax, rest, and enjoy plenty of time outside! Over the next two and a half weeks, we will be making final preparations before FCAT, so it is important for students to be present every day, on time, and prepared to learn. I will be updating my Parent Portal website soon with where we are in our curriculum. I also wanted to point out that I have posted many links on this blog to online math games for additional practice. Thank you so much in advance for your investment in your student. It will be worth it! :-)

Cummer Museum of Art & Gardens Field Trip

What a beautiful day to spend at the Cummer Museum of Art & Gardens! We visited the galleries to study and discuss examples of still life, landscape, interior, and cityscape paintings. We considered different moods depicted in each type of composition, then visited the Art Connections and studio to participate in a hands-on activity to take with us.

Here are the paintings we studied:




Our favorite parts were the studio and Art Connections...hands ON!















FYI Admission to the Cummer is FREE Tuesdays 4:00-9:00 if you are looking for something free and fun to do over Spring Break! :-)
