Congratulations to the artists of the month: Alyssa Ali, Kendrick Carpenter, Ainsley Channon, and Kody Letteriello. These kindergarten students drew a rabbit and then they watercolored it. They mixed the watercolors to make other colors. They learned that mixing black and white would make gray. Great Job Kindergarten. Look for them in the mini art gallery in the school office.
