Taking Charge of our AWESOME!

After our first day abstract painting the art room jumped head first into a lesson on being MORE AWESOME. We were inspired by Kid Presidents pep talk to teachers and students (link below)http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RwlhUcSGqgs&safe=active

Each of my classes created self portraits (a portrait of yourself) and wrote a bit about what makes them awesome. We also dressed up on suit coats and ties to share out advise on how to BE MORE AWESOME.

I must say this is a fun! Please enjoy the video :)

Lots of colorful art project coming soon!

Thank you. Thank you!!

Thank you to all the parents and kiddos who brought in supplies for the art room! I have just been admiring all the tissues, paper plates and post it notes, just like Christmas :) Your generosity is greatly appreciated!!

A Great First Week!

Welcome back cookies from Allison, YUMMY!!!!

This year we skipped the typical rules and went straight for PAINTING! Everyone including me enjoyed this.

We painted abstracts from a same set of directions, then we did an art room mingle to explore, share, compare and get acquainted with one another.

Every 1st-4th student finished and hung their painting in their grade level gallery space.

Be sure to check them out at OPEN HOUSE :)

Tissues and Candy Bars...Mrs. Garvin looooves getting gifts!!!!

Already starting our next lesson on BEING MORE AWESOME! Be sure to check back to see our finished video/art project. Coming soon!
