Today we had an amazing trip to the Dixon Gallery and Gardens. We were met by Miss Linley who showed us around the gardens. We viewed, touched and smelled many fantastic things that grow on the grounds and were even treated to a bouquet of snapdragons from one of the gardeners. At the edge of the south lawn and around the front of the building we enjoyed the sight of Lee Littlefield’s fantastic wooden sculptures. They reminded us of things that we saw in books by Doctor Seuss. Miss Linley dropped us off in front of the galleries and then everyone had a chance to act as tour guide as we viewed the Kattner American painting collection. When we got back to school we finished off our adventure with a picnic lunch on the MHA lawn. We would like to thank Chanah & Eli Frieden for helping us with our transportation and for providing us with the special dessert for our picnic.

made in DIXON March 11th - April 8th
This show features works of art created during the Dixon educational programs. I strongly encourage you to take your family to see it. It is wonderful for children to see artwork that has been created by artists their age. If you need some added incentive, you should know that Ezra Somer, Becky Weinstein, Yonah Yarmush, Sima Stein & David Finkelstein all have works of art in this exhibit that they created during the fall on Dixon Day at MHA. (Scroll down to the post on November 15h for details.)

The Garden of Our Imagination
The Kindergarten and First Grade have just completed one of my favorite Tu B’Shvat Projects! After listening to The Lorax, by Doctor Seuss, we had a discussion about why trees are important to us. We also talked about how Doctor Seuss used his imagination to come up with a unique way to tell the world about the significance of trees for our environment. We used our own imagination to invent made up trees. Here is a short video so you can watch the fun in progress! If you want to see our complete collection of Imagination Trees feel free to stop by and have a look at our display.
