Okay guys, we made it!


I am so proud of my students this school year. You have made so much progress.
I hope your summer is full of fun adventures.

Keep reading and keep that brain working hard.

Art Contest

“State of the Art”
Students please think about your local environment and what makes it unique and different from other places around the United States. Is it the landscape or the people around here? What about traditions passed on through generations of your family? How can you best depict your environment through artwork?

Be Creative and share a glimpse into your world!

Deadline: February 1, 2010
Return to Mrs. Schoenstra

One artwork from each state will be displayed in a national,
touring exhibition that will debut in Washington DC during June 2010.
