The students worked hard during our first week of 2015! We had to take down our Christmas work and replace it with new writing assignments. The class worked on New Year’s resolutions for themselves and wrote stories about being trapped inside during a blizzard! We also completed writing assignments about one of the exhibits from our museum visit at Hofstra. Mrs. Perovich and I will be putting together a hallway display with photos and written work from the students from the Art Travelers program. Please be sure to stop down and see it next time you are in the building!
