Lost Phone and No More Buying Gasoline!

In case you can't read the sign posted, it says, "Lost Phone if you see this phone go to the Hello Kitty Store (TM)" and then our address follows.  So please be on the look out for a phone that looks just like the one on the sign and I am guessing it is pink and makes obnoxious noises.  And if you find it, please return it to the Hello Kitty Store (aka: the girl's room.)

A few days ago Luke said, "I can't wait for the year 2010!" When I asked why, his response was, "Because then there will be cars that don't use gasoline and cause pollution!" There's the inside scoop folks! 2010, no more buying gasoline!

Claude Monet and Andy Warhol

Here was today's art history lesson: Claude Monet -1840 to 1946 -Paris, France -Impressionist -Water Lilies

Andy Warhol -1928 to 1987 -American -Hypochondriac -Pop Art -Silk Screen -Soup Cans -"In the future, everyone will be world-famous for 15 minutes."

I had Luke, Ben, Luke and Isabel look at this painting and collectively write a poem.  They each added a line.c

They then colored their own lily pads and lilies and painted over with a watery blue paint.  They loved how the blue made the white crayon show.  This one is Isabel's...

I couldn't think of an art project to go along with Andy Warhol, but he is one of my favorite crazy artists so I have to add this pic!
