This week we will revisit the Rooftop Art theme by reading the book that inspired the theme, SAY SOMETHING by Peter Reynolds. This book is our One School, One Book for 2019-2020.

Art allows us to speak our minds, share thoughts, voice our opinions, express feelings, and connect with others.

This week our read alouds will focus on how art can be a powerful tool to SAY SOMETHING.

We will learn how a dance, a flag, and a statue are examples of Art is... Saying Something.

Happy Reading,

Ms. Tamra

P.S. Did you hear about the Rooftop Wishing Fence? Please join us in our last community art project for this year (details below).

Our amazing Rooftop Art Coordinators have come up with a school wide art project while we keep or distance...

Families are invited to come to the entrance at the top of the Twin Peaks driveway leading to the school yard. On the fence you can attach your wish until the end of the school year.

Please write or draw your wish on a ribbon or card stock paper and attach it on the fence, there will also be materials provided onsite if needed.

We hope you enjoy this excursion to get outside and also still feel the Rooftop community is there with you all. Look forward to watching the wishes grow!

Why did the Statue of Liberty turn from brown to green over the years? Learn how to oxidize a penny with a experiment led by librarian Cathy Mulligan (Miraloma & Paul Revere School)

Inspired by Her Right Foot by Dave Eggers.

Listen to Niko Draws a Feeling by Bob Raczka.

After listening to the story, learn how easy it is to draw a feeling just like Niko!

1. Get a pencil, chalk, marker or pen
2. Gather any kind of paper or cardboard to draw on
3. Think of a feeling or something you'd like to say with your art
4. Use shapes, lines, color to SAY SOMETHING with your drawing
