Pictures Return!

Thanks to a handy tip that our school has just a few cameras that can be checked out of the library, I have done so and have been taking pictures like crazy to get caught up!

3rd graders have been working on making a mask out of clay and then painting it. They drew a design first to help them think of the purpose of their mask (to entertain, to scare, to disguise, to protect, etc.).

Here a few from one of my 3rd grade classes, hopefully I can snap some more of my other two classes.

We will be completing the order on Wednesday March 9th, so please turn it in before then if you still wish to order!

Thanks so much and thank you to everyone that has already turned theirs in :)

Art to Remember Fundraiser

Mrs. Thomas and I had been working on a fundraiser for the art room this past month. Packets were sent home last Friday with the student's art work and information about the fundraiser.

Parents and guardians may order/purchase items through the Art to Remember company that will print the students art work on to a selected item they have available (water bottles, key chains, magnets, coffee mugs, tote bags, garden flags, ornaments, etc.).

Please have your child return the packet to school by Friday March 4th. If you do not wish to order any products, just mark the "NO" on the envelope and return to school (your child will still be able to take their art work home at a later time!).

If you wish to order, follow the instructions on the envelope and enclose a check or cash for the order.

Thank you to all the students who participated!

And thank you to everyone for support in the art room, I appreciate everyone who brought in bottles for our chihuly project at the beginning of the year, the parents that volunteered on Jump rope for Heart and Fall Festival days, all my 4th graders who brought in boxes and found objects for our project, and many many other things!
