Art Gallery and Public Library Field Trip

We had such a great time on our field trip today. The students were extremely well behaved and the day just flew right by! A big thank you to all the parents who were able to volunteer. I could not have done it without you.

The part the kids were most excited about!

Story time at the library

We got to go behind the scenes where they sort all the returned books

The conveyor belt that sorts all the books 

Each student got a turn to scan the book and put it on the conveyor belt

The students did a great job identifying all the details in this piece of art from Indonesia

We did a print making workshop. The students sketched their ideas, then transferred it onto a board that made an imprint of their drawing. 

Then they rolled paint onto their board,

pressed it onto a piece of colored paper,

gently peeled it off, 

and voila! Art!

The art had to stay at the gallery to dry but Mme Louise, who lives close by, will pick it up within the week and bring it back so the kids can bring it home.
