Activities for March

March is bringing fun filled activities with the celebration of Women's History Month, St. Patrick Day, Spring and Easter! Also you have the whole month to take your quarterly online test located in the Tests section.

For Women's History Month we will be working on scenes showing family members or close friends doing an activity.  We will use the artwork of Mary Cassatt as inspiration since she is one of the first and most well known woman artist. Visit the Current Lessons section for details.

Then we will undertake the task of drawing posters for Child Abuse Prevention week.  See the Art Contests section for more information.  Following will be the creation of leprechauns to celebrate St. Patrick's Day right before we go on recess to inaugurate the arrival of Spring and Easter.

Finally we close the month with looking at another famous woman artist, Georgia O'Keeffe, for inspiration to draw flowers and using Pablo Picasso's "Hand with Flowers" to sketch hands.
