ART NEWS!
FHCS student holiday artwork will be on display in the River of Time
Museum and Library lobby from now until New Year’s. Please stop by and
check it out. In November the students created fall still-life
paintings. Some of these are hanging in the gym and some are in the
display board outside the office. They used fall colors, pastels and
watercolors to create their own composition. After the holidays we will be
working with clay and 3-dimensional sculpture. If you have any containers,
paper towel rolls, corks, film containers or other interesting shaped
objects that you want to recycle, please send them in and we will make
something out of them.
TECH NEWS!
The
exciting tech news is that our new computers are here. We ordered 15 new
iMacs with the new Leopard operating system for use in the computer room.
These will be faster and have some new programs for us to work with. The
current iMacs will be moved to the classrooms. Hopefully they will be up
and running after the holidays. Thank you PTO!
SPANISH NEWS!
Rosetta
Stone Spanish has been going great this year. Once the students know the
basic vocabulary they move very quickly through the lessons. All the
students, from fourth grade up, are learning Spanish on the computers and
in their workbooks. We have also been playing some games and watching a
Spanish television program.
