Scratching the surface of a black canvas to uncover the beautiful colors hidden beneath can be fun! During art class, students learned how to make their own scratch artboards. They were instructed to create a pattern using brightly colored oil pastels to cover a styrofoam plate. Once that step was complete, they painted it with a mixture of black paint and dish soap. Once dry, let the scratching begin!
Learning to play an instrument can be very exciting. Whether strumming a guitar, striking a bar on a xylophone, tapping a drum, or pressing piano keys, many of our students enjoy taking music lessons. Annual concerts and talent shows provide them with opportunities to perform before a live audience. Our hope is that they will develop a true appreciation for all kinds of music that will last forever.
Each day, our students work hard to improve their skills and learn more about the world. It takes a lot of practice and a positive attitude to do this. We are very proud of their accomplishments, large and small.
The object of the challenge was to study another person’s face and draw a portrait of them. Carefully focusing on all the details, the artists tried to capture the personality of the person staring back at them. It was a fun assignment and they took it very seriously!
We heard from a very special group of friends today! PAWS in Hand sent us their warm wishes in a beautiful holiday card. They miss coming to Windsor and can’t wait to come back. We miss them too and hope that everyone, including our four-legged friends, is staying safe and healthy so they can visit us again soon!
We asked everyone to show us their school spirit this past week. It was a winter wonderland out there and we enjoyed it! Pups wore their bows and people put on their ugly sweaters. We wish everyone a happy and healthy break with their families. See you in 2021!
We celebrated the holidays with several spirit days. The snowstorm last week gave us a reason to get out and play. As always, ugly sweaters and pets were a huge hit. We wish everyone a happy and safe break with their families. See you in 2021!
Ms. Murphy recently found a wonderful way for our students to help other children! They made colorful pillowcases for kids undergoing treatment in the hospital. Their beautiful creations will be sent to an organization dedicated to helping kids feel better to heal better. Volunteers deliver more than 200,000 bright, cheerful pillowcases each year to children and their families in over 330 hospitals. Visit Ryan’s Case for Smiles to learn more about their mission and how you can help!
This winter, we partnered with the Pompton Lakes Rotary Club to help those in need of food, clothing, and toys. We were grateful for the opportunity to help brighten the season for as many families as possible.
The rain didn’t keep us from having a great day! We painted pumpkins, dyed t-shirts, made slime, challenged ourselves in an escape room, and tried some Minute to Win It games. It was nice way to celebrate the season together.
