Today I am feeling like the luckiest teacher on Earth! I belong to a school and community that is involved, compassionate, and inspired! Every one of my students is a pleasure to have in class! I am so proud of their work and efforts! My fellow teachers are sharing, wonderful, resources in and out of the classroom. I hope you are feeling as good as I do today!
It was indeed a busy and productive week! The Harvest Festival was a huge success and a great time! I want to thank all the people who helped by donating their time and/or food to the event!
We had a chance to explore around campus and collect some leaves for our printmaking project. The students learned about local artist Klara Maisch as well as her techniques for creating beautiful art. We put those practices into our own work and the results were beautiful.
This week was also full of technology! The students learned about PowerPoint presentations, and we will be diving into creating and presenting our own presentations in the coming weeks.
We have quite a bit of work on our plates coming up, but I am confident we will accomplish our goals!
