Kinderartists have started a project in the art studio inspired by French artist, Henri Rousseau! Students looked at his painting, "Surprise" which shows a dream-like image of a tiger in the jungle during a rainstorm. The tiger looks like it is ready to pounce! Henri Rousseau painted faraway jungles, but really he just looked at plants from the local botanical gardens. Students created beautiful tiger drawings filled with lush plants like Rousseau did in his work. Soon they will be painting their images!

They found the admission office and climbed up on the sofa and chairs with two books in hand. They enjoyed listening to Tr. Lisa read "Corduroy" and "A Pocket for Corduroy." (For those familiar with Corduroy, there is a name connection which led the kids to choose the Corduroy books.) You never know where nursery school's curiosity will lead them.
