This is our last week of April! Goodness has it been a very fun, eventful and so much learning month! We as a class learned all about Wassily Kandinsky the Russian painter. He would listen to music to feel his art so as a class we did just that! I have posted their art work outside and I'm so glad to see everyone enjoying looking at them. We have also been working hard learning all about the 3 R's; Reduce, Recycle and Reuse, they have caught on fast that it is everyone's job to take care of the planet!

     We will be starting our newest fundraiser this week, please keep an eye out for it! The children last week learned about Wassily Kandinsky who was a Russian painter. Kandinsky is generally credited as the pioneer of abstract art and loved to paint with listening to music. The children was able to listen to four different genres and paint what they felt from the music. All of the children's art work is posted outside of the classroom, I do hope everyone gets a chance to check out their amazing work! This week will continue with the three R's, Earth Day and God's Creations. Thank you to all my OLM families in room #9 for everything YOU do, this classroom is so successful because of all of you! Please do not hesitate to reach out if you have any questions or concerns.

Blessings to all,
Mrs. Donavan
