It has been a great year teaching art at Beauclerc for the most part. I was able to actually have an art room for you this year (and hoping and wishing for one next year!) You learned a LOT and I certainly want you to do well on the end of year tests (second and fifth graders).
I am definitely not sad to see the doubled classes end. I have to say those classes did not accomplish as much as the "normal" sized classes. Let's hope we won't have to do that again!
The Kids Art Fair is next week and I will be happy to see many of you there with your families. We expect a great crowd!
Kids Art Fair and Music Night May 24th
Make plans to come out for our third annual Kids Art Fair on Thursday, May 24th at 6:00 p.m. This year it will be held to coincide with the performance of the Chorus and Orff Ensemble at 7:00. Students have been working really hard on their projects all year. Every few months, I rolled out the next grade level's project so it would not become too overwhelming for me. I have to fill out the backs of the art papers, alphabetize each class's work, and coordinate getting the flyers out and posters up advertising the event. That's 1,200 students, folks!! It is really a joy to see the satisfaction and pride on my students' faces when they see their artwork framed and on display. And as you may know, its proceeds are the major source of funding for the art program. With the budget cuts this year, the art budget was only $80 for the ENTIRE YEAR for the ENTIRE SCHOOL.
And just a heads up - I heard the chorus practicing today and they sounded like angels...
