Students have been working very hard on the writing process and all have completed their very descriptive paragraphs about their birds' diets! We are displaying our paragraphs in the hallway and we invite you to come read them!
Last week after visiting the Portland Art Museum students created Andrew Goldsworthy art in the park. We took photographs of the natural art and students made cards which included the title of their art, the media, and the artist's name. We hope to share this natural art with you!
Here are some important upcoming dates:
- Family Resource Center walking trip (Tuesday, February 15th) Students will be learning more about the local Family Resource Center and look for ways that they can help deliver food to local families in need.
- Presidents' Day, No School (Monday, February 21st)
- Empty Bowls Night (Wednesday, March 2nd at the UCC) Level 1 students have been very busy in art class hand making ceramic bowls to donate to the Empty Bowls project. This will be a great community event and I hope you consider joining us! Please read the following note about this project from Ms. Teresa: "Forest Grove Community School presents the Empty Bowl Feast on Wednesday, March 2nd, 5:30pm at the United Church of Christ in Forest Grove. This is an event that takes place around the world to end hunger and food insecurity. For a donation of $10 and up, you will receive one handcrafted bowl and homemade soup created by 1st-3rd graders at FGCS. Tickets are available in the main office, there will also be a limited number of tickets available at the door. When you arrive at the feast you will select a bowl, fill it with delicious soup and eat amongst the wonderful members of your community.
