Some of the MyDay Friday fun today included a visiting artist in residence doing watercolor with elementary students, elementary yoga, outdoor games in middle school, and community service in the park for high school students.
For My Day Friday the kindergarten class read Scribble Stones by Diane Alber! It is a story about a happy little stone that dreams of being something amazing. After we read the story we got to paint our own rocks and then, we hid them throughout Dufur! If you happen to find one of our awesome rocks, you’ll notice there is a number on the bottom. That number will tell the class whose rock was found. Now for the fun part! We would like to get to know our community! So if you find a rock, could you please send a short note to the Dufur School telling us a couple of important things:
1. What number is on your rock?
2. Your name
3. How long have you lived in Dufur?
4. What is your favorite thing about Dufur?
We love getting mail in kindergarten, and this is a fun way to get to know our community! Thank you so much for helping our class with this project!
