Week 2

Last week was fun! I got a chance to start an art project with each class. Because we have an early out today, there will be no art and PE so 5/6 will have to finish the "Trees through a Window" project next week. For all the classes, we worked on some beginning stretching and balances to prepare for gymnastics activities. Here's a picture of 5/6 playing "Balance Freeze Tag". If you are tagged, you have to choose a balance and hold it, until someone comes to "unfreeze" you by holding your balance for 5 seconds. Grades 1/2 worked on creating "Myself" mixed media projects. The first step was to trace and cut out a body, and then paint it. We used tracing paper to make clothing patterns, and this week we will cut those out of fabrics, draw faces, and add yarn for hair. They are going to look great! Kindergarten used potatoes to make family portraits (those were for the faces). We will finish those up this week as well!

Week One

I'm excited to start my first week working here at St. Paul's Lutheran School in Sedalia! For art, I've scheduled "My Family" potato printing for Kindergarten, "Myself" mixed media project for grades 1/2, and "Trees through a Window" with grades 5/6. For the PE classes (pre-k through 6th) we're going to work on a gymnastics unit. We will focus on stretching, balancing, rolling, and more. Excited to be working with the kids and staff!
