Art Work To Go Home
We started working on the work to accompany the TM 2 report card on March 11. In honor of the beauty of the season, I shared Robert Frost's poem "Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening" with Friday's classes. The illustrations are by Susan Jeffers.
Different groups engaged with different things: all knew snow angels. Then black papers as well as white were used to create whatever came to mind.
