Art Goes to School

Art Goes to School (AGTS) is an art appreciation program that is facilitated by the PTO in efforts to  bring art into the classrooms.   Each month, a famous artist is highlighted.  The children learn about these artists and then are able to create their own renditions using the styles and concepts they learn from the lesson presented to the class.   At the end of the year, the PTO hosts a MLT Gallery Night in which each student is able to showcase a special piece of their artwork.  This is a family event and is a very special night for MLT.  The AGTS committee is always looking for volunteers.     It is another fun and very rewarding way to get involved at MLT.

P is for Pumpkin

This month we did so many fun activities, several of them related to our  pumpkin theme.

What do you think of our pumpkin faces?  Could they be any cuter?

Fine motor centers in disguise.... students decorated pumpkins using stickers.

After some student voting, we chose a face to carve.

Students helped by picking out pumpkin seeds to roast later.  

A Big THANK YOU to the MLT PTO for donating many of the materials we needed for carving and decorating our pumpkins.

One of our fun Friday activities this month included baking some yummy pumpkin treats.  Our morning classes make pumpkin bread and our afternoon classes make pumpkin cookies.  They were delicious.  

Hope you all enjoyed your hurricane-free Halloween.

We'll have pictures of our Halloween festivities in our next post!
