Calendar Art

Check out these colourful collages created by students in Room 5.  We were inspired by the art works of Eric Carle.  Our calendar art is on display in a red folder on the Room 5 library shelf.  Come and have a look at your child's masterpiece.  Money and orders for calenders, cards, phone covers, or diaries can still be placed at the office.
