Happy Monday everyone....this may be a short one. I have what feels like a sore throat coming on. So I may head out early and try to rest this one to health, especially since we have had a few kids and teachers with sore throats and fevers lately.
DPIE art discussing. Our class is putting together a photo collage. They were given a disposable camera and a handout with what they are supposed to take photos of.
Their assignment:
2 photos of grass or lawn
2 photos of the sky
3 photos of the Dublin hills -- try to get as little of the sky as possible
3 photos that captures the word “Dublin” (e.g. dublin blvd sign, dublin bowl, welcome to dublin sign)
3 photos spelling out the word Dublin with recycled cans, pinecones, shamrocks, rocks, leaves, etc. Anything you can imagine.
3 photos of your favorite places in Dublin. May include school, pizza place, a bike store, library, etc..
1 photo of a classmate that hasn’t had their photo taken
2 photos of your name spelled out with somethign that you like. Match box cars, slices of pizza, tiny soccer balls, etc..
3 photos of a tree -- try to get the whole picture of the tree
1 photo of your bike, scooter, skateboard, or a means of transpiration other than a car
2 photos of your family
1 or 2 head shots of yourself, preferably in green
Dublin Band Concert (from Mrs. I):
In case you happen to get any questions, I am giving you our concert information. It also can be found on my webpages, and in a letter I sent home the first week of January.
Our concert is on Wednesday, March 2nd, in the Dublin Elementary School multipurpose room. The performance begins at 7:30 p.m., will be finished by 8:00 p.m., and students are doing a group warm-up at 7:00 p.m. The concert attire is school shirts (or colors) and dark bottoms, no skirts or shorts. It is very important that students do not bring more than 2 audience members per household. Seating will be very limited, due to the large number of participating students this year.
Dear Time:
Students were given 30 minutes to read independently, begin studying for their two science tests (one this Wednesday and one next Thursday), read this week’s story or read for their Famous American.
