In honor of our OSOB Masterpiece by Elise Broach, where one of the characters makes forgeries, we asked students during their remote day yesterday to make their own copycats of famous paintings. #VPARocks #RISEArkansas #caneclassroom #OneBookConnects #vpamasterpiece

2nd grade’s Marvin Beetles are growing! Don’t you just love when literature leads to a science experiment?! #OneBookConnects #vpamasterpiece #RISEArkansas #VPARocks #caneclassroom

2nd grade at VPA today started a science project to accompany their One School, One Book Masterpiece by Elise Broach. They are going to grow mealworms into beetles, like Marvin from their book. #vpamasterpiece #OneBookConnects #RISEArkansas #caneclassroom

One School, One Book: VPA started reading Masterpiece, experimented to see how Marvin floated in the drain, researched beetles, and thanks to JA, we gave prizes for trivia and each 1st and 2nd grade class a Marvin of their own. #caneclassroom #OneBookConnects #RISEArkansas

Our first week with One School, One Book has started strong!!! All our students and staff are reading the same book, Masterpiece. Our students made their own Marvin. Can't wait to dig even further into this novel.

Surprised with a lovely letter and books for our students today from the ladies of The Kappa Nu Omega Chapter of Alpha Kappa Alpha. Our teachers were so excited to receive these. Thanks for thinking of us and supporting the love of reading. #vparocks #caneclassroom #canesread

Mrs. Hill’s 3rd graders learned the basics of economics by starting their own businesses with self created products. They even made commercials to persuade their peers to buy their item on market day! #VPARocks #CaneClassroom
