A Dictionary/Thesaurus of my very own!

Thank you so much to Mrs. Ziegler's Great Uncle Joe from Oklahoma for giving us an incredible gift.  As part of the "Dictionary Project" each student received his/her own copy of Webster's Dictionary/Thesaurus from the Cross Timbers Rotary Club of Norman, Oklahoma.  
Joe and the Rotary believe in importance of literacy and reading to learn.

Matisse - Movement Collage

The past few Fridays, we studied the artist Henri Matisse. 

He loved pure, sparkling, bright spots of color and cut paper to create collages.

“Creole Dancer” is a famous collage by Matisse.  

When he created this in college, he used a background that is a colorful, irregular checkerboard.

He placed contrasting curved shapes on the checkerboard to symbolize the moving dancer.

Inspired by his style, we made a "movement collage"

If you're in our hallway ... check out all our masterpieces!
