In prek we used everyday objects as stamps to create prints (Seltzer)
Children in prek were introduced to basics of printmaking. In this lesson children used everyday objects as stamps by using an up and down motion, rather than a sideways motion. In the coming weeks they will build on what they know about prints and stamps to create their own stamps. keep checking for further development in this unit.

1st graders begin their Joseph Cornell-inspired character boxes
Thanks to Paul Spence, Murch dad and owner of W.Curtis Draper Tabacconist, who donated 3 giant black bags full of cigar boxes, the first graders began their work in decorating their Joseph Cornell-inspired works. Here they are drying after gluing images that symbolized aspects of themselves. Next week they will add small meaningful objects that also represent them. Check back soon to see our progression.

(ages 8 and up) Tired of being ignored by her parents, six-year-old Cathy decides to see what would happen if she vanished from her ordinary life. When her family loads up the car to return home to Paris after their trip to the country, Cathy secretly stays behind at their weekend cottage. The story slowly unfolds to reveal Cathy's daily routines alone, balancing her playful imagination with solid determination, before ultimately reuniting with her family. In French with English subtitles. Shown in conjunction with the Kids Euro Fest. (Olivier Ringer, Belgium/France, 2011, 77 minutes)
