We've really been learning about the Renaissance period--all the city states, cultures and artists. Michelangelo was certainly a hard working artist. He spent four years, lying on his back on a scaffold, painting the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel. You only did it for 15 minutes and you were hurting! (I loved your artwork, by the way!)
Speaking of the Sistine Chapel, I added the cool website to our links that takes you on a virtual tour of it. Parents, it is typical Renaissance art so you should have a look at it with your kids. I sure would love to visit it, as well as St Peter's Basilica.
I am sending home a new format for the Reading Logs. Please be sure to look at it right away so you can remind "Junior" to complete it before the "eleventh hour." It's a 2-paragraph essay that can be done after reading their five 20-minute periods. I suggest they read over the weekend always to give them a head start. And, yes, they may read more than one session in a day if they know their week will be crazy.
And on the note about crazy weeks...next week is parent-teacher conference week and I hope it's not too crazy! I can't wait to spend a few minutes with just YOU. Thanks for all you do to get your kids here on time and well rested and ready to learn!
Love, Mrs Cardinal
