Letter Writing
Kindergarteners wrote letters to various people in their lives. Mrs. Caughey received quite a few from the students with requests for longer PE periods, lunch in school, and even faster, taller slides for the playground. Children were very creative with their writing. One student even wrote to the Tooth Fairy, asking for the Tooth Fairy to increase her pay per tooth because she loves shopping at #Target! What an amazing year of growth by our students!
Trash to Treasure
The Montclair Art Museum guided students to create their own animal-inspired installation, with the theme of animals in the sky, on land, underwater, and underground by reusing items that may have previously been discarded. Old books, bottle tops, paper scraps, and paper roll tubes were some of the materials used to create jellyfish, groundhogs, birds, and octopus, each with their own unique touch! Check out these mini-masterpieces!
