Welcome Back "Top Dogs"

Nothing like the first week back- complete chaos of excited students & staff.
Nervous, a little anxious, totally on over-drive as we start a new routine.
- It never ends.... I have the same feelings walking in to teach as I did walking through the doors as a student.

This year we kick off our 2014-2015 with a bit of variety...

4-5- will be blown away as they create pinwheels.
A review and focus on the elements & principles of art.

K-3- will be working with color mixing.  A review of the Primary / Secondary colors by creating paint papers.  A good way to get introduced to the procedures in the art room- lets just jump right in and get a bit messy!

Lots of good stuff this year- excited to be working with our great Howe Students and Staff-
