Novel Study Fun

We’ve just finished reading From the Mixed Up Files of Mrs. Basil E. Frankweiler, a novel about two children who run away to the Metropolitan Museum of Art and find themselves trying to solve a mystery about Italian Renaissance artist Michelangelo. Today during reading class, we learned a little more about this artist and tried to creat art on the “ceiling” in our classroom. Fifth grade students agree that four years of painting on the ceiling must have been very difficult!

Monday, February 3rd is FPD’s official birthday. To celebrate, we’re having a birthday party at lunch complete with birthday cake for everyone! PLUS Mr. Joe has approved a special Spirit Shirt day for students (still wear uniform bottoms). We’re going to do some fun trivia throughout the day and the Viking Store will have a special 50th anniversary shirt!
