Welcome Back!

Welcome Back!  It's going to be a great school year.  I can't wait to see what my students create this year.  I am also very excited about the new "choice center" in my classroom.  I will post more about it later; but basically it is an area in the classroom filled with art activites that students can help themselves to if they finish their artwork early.  Some of the activities include: free draw with drawing boards, word bubble art critique, art books, free-sculpt with play-doh, puzzles, art word bingo, and one of my favorites, magnetic mosaics.

Here is a picture of the magnetic mosiacs.  In this activity, students can create a mosaic using various colored magnets.



If you have any questions, comments, or ideas for our art program...leave me a comment!

Stay tuned for more exciting news throughout the school year about what is going on in the art room and in the arts community of our area!

Also, look for art newsletters throughout the year in your child's agenda/backpack!
