May/June Art Update!

Well... I guess this is it! We have come to the end of the 2015-2016 school year! Thanks so much for taking the time to check out these blog updates in order to stay connected to life in the art room and to support your child's education. As I state in my teaching philosophy, I believe that every child has been created uniquely and has something special to offer. Whether they are incredibly gifted in the area of art, or just enjoy exploring different art mediums and materials, I hope that each student enjoys their time in the art room and appreciates the opportunity to create and learn about art. I am honored and privileged to be their teacher! Truly!

The month of May was spent finishing up projects, and those projects reveal some of the students' best work this school year! The beginning of June was spent passing back artwork that the students hadn't yet received. Thank you for your patience as you have been waiting for the artwork to be sent home! It is a whole lot easier for me to dedicate one class to sending home artwork rather than sending it home sporadically (my brain can't keep track of what I sent home and when). The kids have so much fun passing back the artwork and some of their reactions to getting back artwork are priceless. They are so excited to reflect back on all the hard work they put in over the school year and to see their growth throughout. I also love hearing the phrase..."Oh yeah, this project! I totally forgot about this project! (as if they did it three years ago, haha).

Enjoy checking out the grade levels to see all of the students' hard work.

Also... I am always in need of extra help in the art room... SO... if your child would be interested in helping out in the art room later on in the summer (towards the start of next school year) I would be happy to accept their help and would gladly treat them to an Out and Out treat as a thank you ☺ Send me an email if you are interested. I am looking for a group of 3-4 responsible, helpful students, that love to clean and organize!

Thanks again and have a SPLENDID AND SAFE SUMMER!!! ☺

Sincerely,

Mrs. Miller
