 The fifth grade is studying Canada.  The fifth grade had to do beautiful totem poles like Eskimos from Canada.  We had to pick five animals for our totem poles and the animals had to be stacked up on each other.  I made a totem pole and the whole class did too.  I think that you would love to see these beautiful totem poles!

 So what’s going on in the art class today?  Word around the campfire is that we are drawing our self-portraits as Civil War soldiers.  My favorite part was when we got to draw the hair and when we had to glue on the clothing.

From fourth grade reporter Victoria:

 In art class fourth graders are drawing self-portraits of our selves as a Native American.  I learned how to draw a face by myself.  I learned how to draw a nose, mouth, eyes and ears.  We drew like this because we are trying to imagine ourselves as Native Americans.
