November 2011 Calendar includes a Special Service Project!

November dates at a glance:


Andy's (Warhol) Cans Project! 

Parents, we are going to be to be working on an uncanny unit and can use your help !   Kindergartners will be studying about American Pop Artist, Andy Warhol.  We will study some of his artwork and his "pop art" style which  includes his famous collection of "Campbell Soup Cans.   Here's where you come in.  Please have your child bring in a canned good item from your home pantry.  We will begin  the unit by sorting, graphing, and comparing/contrasting  cans.  We will also design our own can "labels"  as part of an art and writing  activity.  (We may even stock and "sell" some of our canned goods in our "Ox Cart Market.")   All month, Kindergartners will collect the canned goods  (hopefully 100 cans) in celebration of Andy Warhol's 100 Can's" painting then, as a culminating event,  donate them to  families in need.    We will also use Warhol's "100 Cans"  print during our  math unit.  Cans can begin coming in to our classroom as early as tomorrow.  Thanks! 


Can we do it!  Yes we can!
