This week in the Art room the students did drawings of the adventures they will have during their summer vacation. It has really been a laid back week with the field day, the class picnics and the field trips around DC. The kids are excited and ready for a vacation, and so are their teachers! To end the school year on a high note, we finished the mural made of self-portraits by the students printed onto tiles. The mural is on the wall by the lift leading to the school cafeteria. There is a work by each student in the mural. Please take time to study the wonderfully diverse expressions on their faces.
Have a great summer! All best, Fiona
Un mural de caras para teminar el ano
Esta semana en la sala de Arte los estudiantes hicieron dibujos de las aventuras que tendrán en las vacaciones de verano. Ha sido una semana relajada, con las excursiones y los picnics. Los estudiantes están emocionados por la llegada de las vacaciones, y sus maestros/as también!
Para finalizar el año con un toque especial, terminamos el mural hecho con baldosas con los autoretratos de todos los estudiantes. El mural está cerca del ascensor en el corredor que va hacia el comedor escolar. Por favor tomen un momento para observar las caras maravillosamente diversas de nuestros hijos.
