Art/leadership

Welcome to Art! It is very exciting to be back in the art room with the students and to meet the new first graders as well. I am honored to be in the classroom with this class twice a week. We have Art on Tuesdays and Leadership on Thursdays.

ART

So far, in the two classes we’ve had together, the students acclimated to the space with an introduction to their art journals and materials and review the class guidelines. After all the logistics, which is their favorite part, we dove right into our first fundamental: LINE. Had a quick review and started working on their first project in their art journals. We’ve also discussed shapes and will continue with patterns next week.

Leadership

In this class we will focus on mindful practices like centering, expressions of gratitude, movement and ways to help around campus and our local community. We reviewed the community spirit packet and will create a class contract to support as a reminder to the packet sent home. They are having fun establishing their new routine and learning about being a good role model to their peers.

Ps. Sometimes our chicken friends come visit us in class and it’s the best.
