The Artist

BigZabba has always enjoyed art.  Lately she has become quite good at drawing and painting.  The other day she drew a picture for her teacher.  She posed her animals, and drew what she saw.  I don’t think I could have done as good  job as she did.  She is becoming a true artist.

Open House

Tonight we went to BigZabba’s open house.  We had such a great time.  I am so impressed with the work she has completed this year.  She has written some great stories, worked on great art projects & learned a lot about weather, animals, the community, & literature.  Thanks Ms. A for a great year!
