8-19

            Last Friday, Miss Mary Rose Villalpando came into our classroom.  Mary Rose is an artist from Monterey, California.  She showed the students her artwork. They analyzed and compared the paintings and drawings.  The students painted a still life of a flower in a vase, as well as a painting from their imagination.  They learned the contrast of drawing from their imagination versus drawing what they see.  The students experimented with mixing colors.  Mary Rose gave each student an art tool (Crayola sidewalk chalk) and a piece of salt water taffy.  It was an educational and fun time in the Oceanarium Friday morning.     

            Friday afternoon, the students celebrated my birthday and the beginning of school with a luau.  The students each received a lei and a bracelet.  The students enjoyed playing limbo and dancing.
