Wishing For Spring

So much snow, snow, snow. We are ready for it to go! In the photographs below you can see the beautiful flower fields in the Netherlands. From far above the land and on the ground the Dutch grow the most breathtaking flowers ever seen. We looked at the flowers fields of the Netherlands in an online slideshow made by the Dutch flower farmers showing their beautifully patterned fields.

The flower fields are so bright and vibrant they don't even look real! There were so many patterns to see bright colors and types of flowers. The pictures are just a sample of what we looked at.

With all this inspiration and despite the snow falling outside our classroom window, the students in grades 2-4th began their flower pot drawings, first in pencil, then in the most vibrant oil pastels they could dig up in their bins.

Here are some examples of our colorful oil pastel flowers.

Working Hard

TADA! Spring at last

Goodbye Day Middle School Students and Staff

I wish I could stay and I've met amazing students and friends along the way. Unfortunately, though it's time for me to go. I will definitely miss the amazing students doing great work. I have felt welcomed by my colleagues I had the pleasure of working with and could only hope to work in such a lovely school community again.

Fall Art Projects

Well- here they are, some of the interesting art we have been doing this fall.

Marvin Bartel's Art Rubric

Marvin Bartel's Art Rubric : Rubrics make assessing students' work efficient, consistent, objective, and faster. Teachers evaluating an assignment will know implicitly what makes that assignment excellent, mediocre, or in need of improvement. Rubrics take the guesswork and subjectivity out of the assessment.
