We have been continuing to work on our drawings that will be photographed and then mailed out to be made into trivets for use/ display in your home. Beautiful work from the students, and they have also written a short paragraph based on their work and why they made the picture that they did...when the trivets are complete, we will have the entire Genesis portion in color trivets! How exciting! I know I am looking forward to that end result very much!
After some students have finished their drawings, I started them on our next project- a watercolor depiction of their favorite tree, with the names of our Jewish matriarchs and patriarchs interspersed among the branches with the names of their family members and words of gratitude that they have for their lives and families, as this special holiday time of year brings about a lot of reflection about all the good that we have in our lives.
As a tiny reminder, please try to to make sure that your child has something nourishing to eat before class on Sundays- while I do have the usual Tues/Wed snacks of pretzels or goldfish crackers, it helps their concentration, creativity and alertness if they have eaten something for breakfast. Thank you so much!
Have a lovely week off for Fall break; enjoy your time together and I want you to know how lucky I feel to have your children in class with me every week! I am very thankful for all of them!
Until next time,
Heather
