Columbus Basketball Final! Saturday 12:30 at the HS. 4/9
Art Show Friday, 4/7. Ms. Koehler's class and families. During the winter months Ms. Koehler held an Art Show at lunch time once a week with her second graders. The first week they learned about an artist and the second week they produced an inspired art piece. This Friday at 6:00 in the cafeteria, we are holding an Art Show for their families. The kids are so excited!
On Tuesday, students got all the artwork on the walls. Students determined the layout of the pieces. The writing for each artist was a shared writing piece. Students told Ms. Koehle how they wanted the artist's names designed.
For the actual night we will have crafts for students and children so students also figured out the crafts and had to problem solve and organize the materials.
Some students wrote poetry based upon the work. For their Biography mini-unit there are students writing about one of the artists. This is why the Arts and the work that Leah, Christina, Cindy and Hugh do with our kids is so vital. It inspires them to be so much more!
Watching the kids during the Residencies was amazing.
