Check your child's backpack / library books due
Check your child's red folder for a "pre-conference questionnaire". This is a great way for me to know what is on your mind as you come in for conferences. Please return as soon as possible.
Tomorrow is library day. Don't forget those books!

Auction News from Morgan
Hopefully you have all
heard about the upcoming Chapman School Auction (this Friday evening at the
Crystal Ballroom). I wanted to let everyone know that our class made three
pieces of art that will be included in the auction. We have a larger piece
called Font-Tastic in the live auction and two smaller pieces in the
silent auction. I've included the descriptions below and attached a couple of
photographs so you can see how beautiful they are. If you haven't bought tickets
but would like to attend, do it before November 13th when registration closes.

Font-Tastic
Combining the discovery of graphic design and photography with mastering penmanship, Mr. Melling's Kindergarten class produced a cyanotype-printed font. Each student created a negative by tracing and decorating a letter onto a piece of acetate, which we then printed using light sensitive paper in the sun. Dimensions 20"" x 28"", cyanotype on watercolor paper
