A Picture is Worth 1,000 Words

Our last post showed you some of the great designs Perkins kids created for our t-shirt art supply fundraising project.  Of course, there were many, many more, but we couldn't put them all on the blog.  Admiring them would take up your entire day.

We did, however, want to give today's space to some artwork devoted to a special subject.  Several students decided to use their drawings to reflect upon a subject that has been on all of our minds--sad thoughts, but also a celebration of our friends, families and city.

Odes to a City

Recently our first graders have been learning about the idea of community, and all the different types of communities they belong to.

 

One type of community they learned about in Ms. Leverett-King's first grade class was the city.  After reading this GIANT book about cities, the kids filled a giant bulletin board (actually, two of them) with the essays on their experiences in their own city of Boston.
