Tonight we introduced a new project for our wonderful group... Creating a story quilt!
In honor of Black History Month: we talked about one of Ms. Correa's favorite authors/artists:
Faith Ringgold
Faith Ringgold grew up making quilts and when she became an artist she began painting on her quilts so her work could be transported easily.
We read Tar Beach
Here are some more of Faith Ringgold's great stories:
If a Bus Could Talk; My Dream of Martin Luther King; Aunt Harriet's Underground Railroad in The Sky
We will continue to read books about quilts next month to inspire your family's ideas for your Story Quilt patch.
Ms. McCulloch read one of our favorite Valentine's day stories:
One Zillion ValentinesI
February is Dental Health month. I wonder if that is because we eat so much chocolates! We read:
Moose's Loose Tooth
Here are some other good stories about teeth: The Bear's Toothache; Just Going to the Dentist
Everyone received a Dental Health booklet and toothbrush from Colgate.
Lina won tonight's book drawing and everyone enjoyed cookies and milk provided by the Harbor Pointe staff.
I hope everyone remembers to brush their teeth!
