Accountability and Grading

- April 02, 2020

Hey Everyone, Just in case you didn't get the email..... We had a team meeting yesterday and were told that we need to find a way to collect work by students whether it is in the form of a log or a picture. I have decided that google photos would be the best platform for me to use for each individual class. I said before that it was not required to upload pictures, but after speaking with my team and admin., I am making it a requirement to upload a photo of what kids have been working on whether it is the actual assignment or an alternative assignment.

Assignment 2 for Grades K-2-Shapes

- April 03, 2020

Assignment posted for April 6th Try to get it turned in by the end of the week. Hello Artists! I miss you all so much! Today we are going to talk about organic and geometric shapes. Geometric shapes are shapes that have perfectly straight lines or are perfectly round or oval. Geometric shapes usually have some type of name like parallelogram, trapezoid, square, or triangle. We find a lot of geometric shapes of things that are man-made, for example; wheels, tables, clocks, books, rugs, cupboards, TV's etc. Organic shapes are shapes that use curvy lines and they don't have specific names for their shape. Organic shapes are found in nature. For example, some organic shapes would be blades of grass, flowers, rocks, branches etc. Here are three posters that feature organic and geometric shapes: Please watch the following video that will either review geometric shapes for you or introduce you to some new shapes: Your ass...
