🎨 Painting a Pumpkin Patch in Mrs. Davis’ Art Class! 🎃
Each grade level has been working on their own pumpkin-inspired masterpieces, and the results are as unique as each young artist:
🍂 Kindergarten — Inspired by the beloved book character Spookley the Square Pumpkin, our youngest artists practiced their fine motor skills by cutting, gluing, and painting their very own square pumpkins.
🌻 1st Grade — First graders explored crayon resist techniques to create vibrant pumpkin landscape paintings in the style of Vincent van Gogh. Their swirling skies and glowing pumpkins are truly a work of art!
🧡 2nd Grade — Second graders mixed primary colors to make their own painted papers, then collaged expressive facial features to design Picasso-inspired pumpkins full of personality and bold shapes.
Mrs. Davis’ classroom pumpkin patch is a celebration of art history, creativity, and fall fun. 🍁✨

The SPCA Visited the Primary Center 🐾🐶
The second-grade students have been reading stories about dogs. They enjoyed Henry and Mudge 🐕—a fun story about a boy and his dog—and Dogs, which teaches interesting facts about our furry friends 📚.
Each classroom is working on their own writing piece ✍️. As a wonderful community activity, the SPCA came to talk with us about all the amazing things they do for different kinds of animals 🐾🐱🐰.
The kids had so many great questions for Carol, and they especially loved meeting Scooby 💕. (Good news: Scooby is available for adoption too! 🏡🐶)
Be sure to check out our candid photos 📸 and all the awesome donations we collected 🎁🐾

Our second graders in Mrs. Montalvo’s class had a STEM-tacular day! 🎃📚 After reading Pumpkin Jack by Will Hubbell, we welcomed our very own “Jack” to the classroom. Just like in the story, we’ll be observing how Jack decomposes and transforms—showing us the full life cycle of a pumpkin from seed to sprout and beyond. 🌱✨
We can’t wait to see what science and surprises Jack has in store for us! 🍂🔬
