What a great first week! All of our classes started off with a bang this week and by Friday all of our kinks had been worked out and our projects on their way! Our open house is August 18th and I hope to see all our students and families. We've got some great projects coming out of the room this week so while you're meeting grade level teachers also take a moment to see some color exploration by all our grades along with some awesome graffiti and "pieces of me" projects that support our classroom theme this year of social justice through street art.

Welcome back to all our returning kids and all our new students! If I missed you at popsicles on the patio worry not, your student will be bringing home a get to know me form along with going over a syllabus in class that they should discuss with you later on during some free time. All students with the exception of band and choir will rotate through art this year so it should be an exciting and fun year exploring a large variety of art and cross curricular topics. We are still focusing on research as our connection to other academics and will be working closely with Mrs. Brooks to explore resources in our library. Please stay turned parents for announcements regarding our displays that coincide with school events this year. We are also still focusing on our "heART- ful" theme this year but have added a new title to our room; Renegades, Rebels and Mavericks of Knowledge, encouraging our students to fully explore creativity as a process and not just a product in all their classes! See everyone soon!

CategoriesMs. LI have been an artist for quite some time, however, I am a fairly new face in the education community. I still enjoy pursuing my own art career in my free time but the majority of my time is spent in the classroom or exploring new creative adventures for students. I love being able to spend my days with such a great group of middle schoolers who are seriously the best at humor! |
