I am super excited too see all of my students in art!

Our first class, week one, we discuss safety, procedures, and expectations 🙂

Students have been provided a letter to take home for their family. This letter summarizes the goals of this class, and is also a reminder for students not to wear their favorite clothes on art day!  Sometimes we get a little messy while we explore and experiment with new materials 🙂

Students are also taking home a parental contact form/artwork waiver to be filled out and returned to me.

Please review the other pages on this blog to give you a better idea of what we do in the art room @ WME!!
