Wednesday, April 28, was Kaleidoscope Day. Our school celebrated by going to the Cummer Museum of Art. The day was filled with fun activities like sketching, painting, and sculpting. The beautiful museum contains a hands-on gallery and a magnificent garden with blossoming flowers throughout. The museum also has a painting room where we painted abstract drawings. In the clay room, we sculpted birds of our choice. We also sat with a very interesting man who played exotic instruments such as the thumb piano, the bongos, and a Cora. After we ate lunch, we left. Then back at school, the PTA arranged an assembly with a magician. This entertainment capped off a great Kaleidoscope Day. Thanks to the PTA and Ms. Susan Dubow for arranging this wonderful day that all students very much enjoyed!
