Dear
RiverRun Families,
The children
had a great time at Union College
last week learning about geology. Professor Frey and the student volunteers put
together a nice program, including some wonderful hands-on activities about
volcanoes and rocks. We are so lucky to have this resource so close to us. Thank
you to all the families that drove in the snow.
This
week we talked about Belgium. We thought it was interesting that this small
country speaks so many languages. Road
signs and town and city names are in French and Flemish. Belgium boarders Germany, so they speak
German too!
The
children learned about the Belgium artist Rene
Magritte. He was a Surrealist artist. We enjoyed some of his very creative,
dreamlike, paintings. The children used
their remarkable imaginations to create their own surreal paintings.
Many of
the children have been working in their Trophy
readers. The Second Years had lessons on
regular and irregular polygons. Everyone is researching a dinosaur
they find interesting and making lists of fitting adjectives to describe.
