A Tale of a Busy Art Club

The bench from the playground needed some serious attention.

We sanded it.

We painted it with bright, clean colors.

We decided to add quotes about learning.  They include quotes by Nelson Mandela, Maya Angelou, Malala Yousafzai, Michelangelo, Benjamin Franklin, Helen Keller and Desmond Tutu.


We added 4 stars like the Chicago flag, but we made them represent things we learn in school.

We made a star for art and history.

We made a star for science.
We made a star for math.

We made a star for reading and writing.  Quin picked The Giving Tree as our book!
We are proud of our hard work!
