Celebrating the arts through song!
The children looked very colorful Friday in their schoolmade shirts! Each shirt, like each child, is unique. Some of the children chose to fling paint in Jackson Pollock style, to create just the right look. Others chose to use droppers full of paint to create a look more Monet style. Still others chose to do both! The results were creative masterpieces and looked very spiffy on stage and throughout the day!
So many wonderful artists from around the area joined us throughout the week to entertain, teach, and inspire our children. Take a look!
We started with a visit last week in the library from Dr. Stone. She was our Mystery Reader, sharing a couple of favorite books chosen by her favorite reader at home. Thanks for visiting Dr. Stone!
The Noise Makers!
Noise Makers is a school of ROCK for kids. Children and people who are young at heart who enjoy listening to and making music can go to Noise Makers in Pinellas County for fulfilling their "rock star" dreams! Lessons, camps, etc. are offered on all sorts of instruments and musical activities. They shared some of their talents with us on two different occasions last week and the children jammed right along with them! So much fun! Thanks Noise Makers!
Drummer!
Nothing spells FUN like beating on a drum! The children had such a fabulous time tapping, storytelling, banging, dancing and practicing rhythm along with Steve, the drum guy! He was amazing. Take a look!
The Painted Pearl
Talk about recycling at it's best! These artists taught the children how to use plastic grocery bags as "modeling clay" or "paper mache" to create awesome works of art! Just add a little masking tape, work it into shape, and a masterpiece is made! The children had so much fun creating, and will add paint to complete their work on Tuesday. A giant THANK YOU goes out to the masterful artists Gray Wise and Michael Ruffner from The Painted Pearl, Original Art and Collectibles.

We LOVE celebrating the arts!
Flower Project
Our flower project continues! The children were visited by Shorecrest's very own Sam Angelides, an eighth grader from the middle division who happens to also be a beekeeper. They were so excited and inspired by Sam that they immediately went to work with drawings and other creative representations of what they saw and learned. Some children even created beekeeper suits and helmets from paper and other materials.
Have a great week!
