Kindergarten Talent!

Here's a sampling of the work the Kindergartners completed
today. All we need is a few good imaginations to put this
rock community into action.

Welcome Back Students and Parents!

I'm so happy to have the students back in the art room! As I write this, I have met with Kindergarten and First and Second Grades. I'll see Third and Fourth Grades tomorrow and Thursday. Although we have been busy taking care of "housekeeping" details like fire drill and foul weather practices, and going over the Rules of the Art Room, we have managed to squeeze in a little time for art! Our Kindergarteners are creating a community out of rocks that I found at Honeymoon Island last weekend. They'll be able to play all sorts of imagination games with them this year when they have "free choice" time.

All grade levels, including Kindergarten, will be working on a project for International Day of Peace on September 21, 2011. Each student will add his or her artwork to a peace sign. First grade students started today. They looked at Vincent VanGogh prints and selected "shapes" from the prints to include in their peace signs.

Don't miss Back to School Night on Thursday. The "Specials" are going to make the rounds to all of the classrooms to introduce ourselves. We thought it might be helpful for you to see our class rules, so we are posting them on our blogs. (See below.) Please follow our blogs...we'll be keeping you posted on everything "special".

Once again, Welcome Back!
