Hello Miss Sharrow's First Grade Families! I just sent an email to your student's email address. This is how you will sign up for conferences. It must be through the student's email address, as it will not work with any other email addresses. Your child's email information is the same as their computer login. If you have any questions, please let me know! Thank you! -Miss Sharrow

Second Graders had a great time making full-sized sunflowers in Mrs. Brown's Art class. Students are pictured in the art room proudly displaying their painting skills. Students also practiced their fine motor skills by cutting out their masterpieces very carefully and then practiced knot-making, using raffia, to embellish the stem. Students focused on the elements of line, shape, pattern, and color. Blending their paint was encouraged. All Second Grade classes will have their flowers displayed in the hallway outside of the large group area in the elementary school during the fall season.
