INDEPENDENT STUDY
All you need to do is get together your costume for the play and practice the songs. FYI If you are unable to make the performance on Thursday at 11:00, we will also be performing for the 5th-8th graders on Tuesday at 11:20 and for the 1st-4th graders on Wednesday at 10:15. Thank you to everyone that signed up to help with the pool party picnic. We have 117 kids and 65 adults coming. It will be a great turnout! Enjoy the long weekend! We used acrylics to create pieces of art on canvas. The kids were very excited and proud! I loved hearing them compliment one another!
Today we learned about the pop artist, Andy Warhol. The kids had fun making pop art out of photos of themselves. We also learned about Henri Rousseau. He was famous for using his imagination to paint the jungle. They created huge jungle scenes that we will use as backdrops for our play.
Today we learned about Edgar Degas. He painted ballerinas and horses, but began to make sculptors once he began to lose his eyesight. We also created a piece of art in the style of the American artist, Jasper Johns. Thank you to Bethany and Lauren for helping out!

Mrs. SilskiI'm thrilled to be teaching my sixth year at HRCCS! I went to Chico State where I received a BA in Liberal Studies, a Minor in Latin American Studies and my Multiple Subject Teaching Credential. I taught 3rd/4th for eight years at a multi-age, project-based, performing and visual arts school in my hometown of Stockton. My husband and I moved to Auburn in 2007 to be close to the trails and raise our children, Robby (9) and Amaya (4). I enjoy painting, cooking, working in the yard, and eating my way through San Francisco. Archives
