Kindergarten Torn Paper Owls

 Kindergarteners worked on an owl unit with their homeroom teachers and read The Little White Owl. In art class, we made our own enchanting owls. We learned that friends come in all sizes, shapes and colors!

Well, Look Who Visited the Louvre Last Week!

Thank you, Beyonce and Jay Z for visiting the Louvre and being photographed with the Mona Lisa the week before I started my Renaissance unit. This will make it so much more appealing to my students!

2nd Grade Abstract Expressionism Project Planning

 Second Graders are in the planning stages of an abstract expressionism project after learning about Jackson Pollock. Each student selected an emotion out of a basket on a slip of paper and is responsible for creating an abstract work to represent that feeling. Their thoughts have been so insightful! Check the link on the right of this page for an online digital abstract expressionism game.
