New Orleans Trip

Can you believe the best field trip of the year is only a few days away? Here are some important reminders: Transportation- We will depart from the OLD Madison Station at 5:45 a.m. We will begin boarding at 5:30. If you are late, you will be left! Remember to wear your New Orleans T-shirt. I will pass those out this week at school. You will need snacks and a sack lunch for the zoo. You will also need some spending money. It is going to be so much fun! I can't wait.

I hope you all had a wonderful spring break. Did you tell your parents how we are learning about propaganda in class? It was hilarious that everyone knew the free creditreport.com commercial. We decided that company did a great job with marketing!

We have also been studying New Orleans' artists and created some really cool "Blue Dog" paintings after reading Why is Blue Dog Blue? We are going to watercolor New Orleans architecture this week as well. We are going to read and study the rhyme scheme of some New Orleans poets in language. Remember that you need an ultra-fine point sharpie and a new pack of markers for our book writing project. We will be filling out job applications to be editors and art directors. I have missed you all and I can't wait to see you tomorrow!
