Mount Rushmore

Here's the second postcard from a former student... Did you know 800 MILLION pounds of stone was REMOVED from Mount Rushmore during its construction? The monument was started in 1927 and finished in 1941. That's one LONNNGGG art project!!

Dear Ms. Allen,
I got to see Mount Rushmore and I got a pin of Mount Rushmore. Have a great year! Sincerely, Your Student

End of Year Memories

Today, I had the students write memory letters. Here are a few highlights...

"What I enjoyed about the year was the million art projects we did and how you made all the art projects fit in with what we were studying."

"...P.S. I love your flashy clothes and I'll miss it."

"I think next year you should keep all your laughter and happiness...I appreciate all the work you do for us...this truly was the best year ever..."

"My heart is going in two different ways; one part says "Boo" and the other says, "Yay!"
