Picture Person

Students in Mrs. Fischer's 2nd grade class, enjoyed learning about the artist named Jackson Pollock. The children wore garbage bags so they could imitate his style of painting. They called it "action painting", splattering paint to make a design. Looks like fun - don't you think?

Butterflies Dodging Raindops

Congerville 4th graders were able to find a gap in the rain today so they could release their butterflies.  The butterfly program is in cooperation with University of Illinois Extension Office.  Our 4th grade has enjoyed this program for many years.  The students get a close look at the development of a painted lady butterfly.
