Happy Belated Chinese New Year!

Hello Hello!!
Delayed post!! 
Students in PreK and Kindergarten learned about the Chinese New Year and created their very own Chinese Dragons before we embarked on the school wide mosiacs! Sorry for the delay!

Welcome Year of the Snake!!

PreK: Used their shoes to create the dragons head and worked on hopping and zig zag lines to create the texture of the scales and spikes!





Kindergarten: Had fun using yarn to create the snake inspired body and focused on line to create the spikes and scales of the dragon! Students had a lot of fun using oil pastels to fill their dragons with a lot of color!

Art Appreciation: Mosaics!

Hello all! 

This past week, the Art room was super busy teaching students k-8 about the art of Mosaics. Thanks to our WONDERFUL moms, dads and grandmas who donated their time and assistance!! By Friday we became a very well oiled machine! Oh how we were prepped for the next class before the students from the class even left! It was definitely a blast and you could tell from the comments and excitement from students in every grade! 
8th graders hard at work!



Buttering, placing the tiles, REPEAT!












Monday: Day One! 
It was new to both the moms and I! Deb Black created and prepared such a FEAT and a TREAT. 
Always practice safety procedures :)





Working hard!

Safety first!
We decided after watching the kids make them, we wanted one too!
