Art

We had a special art workshop with the artist Kosuke Fujita. He is the creator of the character もふいまる or Fluffy Ball. Mr. Fujita taught us about his life as an artist, how to find ideas and inspiration for our own art, and guided us in some drawing activities. This was a unique opportunity to connect with a professional artist.

Saint Maur Elementary School kicked off the holiday season with a festive performance in the Auditorium on November 29th. Third graders sang a beautiful song Mi Burrito Sabanero in Spanish. They even added a percussion section to heighten the appeal!

During the afternoon, 3G decorated the classroom for Christmas. I think our style theme is “Christmas Explosion! 💥”

At the end of the performance, the upper elementary choir sang a medley of songs all together.

Here is the full Christmas Production video.

Our 3G artists worked very hard in the watercolor unit this term. Their skills using watercolor paints improved, as did their ability to brainstorm, plan, and execute their artwork. These photos are from across several watercolor painting sessions.

Saint Maur elementary students enjoyed Fun Day as most of the secondary school students were off-campus. The theme of the day was Health, Wellbeing, and Mindfulness. 3G enjoyed sessions on mindful eating, yoga, and exercise. I was surprised how exciting the active Bingo game turned out!

Walkathon

The Walkathon for charity was moved inside the gym due to rain. It was still fun and exhausting.

Watercolors

3G started a unit learning about watercolors in Art Class recently. Students explored two different painting techniques and various textural elements to evoke different feelings in their art.

Today, we partied with the August birthday celebrants on the first day of school. Students also worked on their superhero birthday figures to add to the 3G Birthday Wall. The new 3rd graders just put their first personal stamps on the 3G classroom making it their own.
