 The end of the school year is coming fast! The image above gives a brief summary of the projects each grade is finishing up inspired by the Elements of Art. Kindergarten - LINE 1st Grade - COLOR 2nd Grade - SHAPE & FORM 3rd Grade - SPACE 4th Grade - VALUE 5th Grade - TEXTURE After completing the SECOND to last class meetings for each grade, it was time to average their DAILY POINTS scores to see who would be crowned our 4th quarter winner! So far this year, Mrs. Veeser's 3rd Grade class has won EVERY OTHER quarter!  Average scores are as follows (as seen on the photo of our agenda below) Kindergarten - 90.8 4th Grade - 94 1st Grade & 3rd Grade E - 94.2 5th Grade - 94.5 2nd Grade & 3rd Grade V - 97 So... Mrs. Dubord's 2nd Grade & Mrs. Veeser's 3rd Grade tied with an average score of 97 through the quarter, which is EXCELLENT! These classes will be rewarded during their last class meeting of the year! Congrats to everyone for a great year!

Good luck to all classes in this next quarter!  Overall Winner - Mrs. Veeser's 3rd Grade
2nd Place - Mrs. Eichmeier's 3rd Grade 3rd Place - Mrs. Dubord's 2nd Grade Scores can be seen in the bottom corner of the agenda shown above.  Things are pushing along over at the elementary! I just completed my second rotation of classes, which means I've had each class twice. (7 day rotation) My daily points system has been going well, and I like the adjustment from previous years. Current leaders are the two 3rd grade classes, as seen below. Special shout out to the 5th grade class, however, for being the first class to earn a perfect score of 100!
 All sketchbooks completed and sorted by class! :)  After completing our sketchbooks to be used this year, I read the lovely book THE DOT by Peter H. Reynolds to all classes. Using this book as inspiration, students are completing collaborative paintings with concentric circles as the focus of the design. One class will start creating rings of color, and wherever they leave off, the next class continues the process. I'm excited to see the final result.
Check back for updates to see what
these large paintings turn into! If you'd like to see what we're up to in the junior and high school - click here. I decided to update my classroom management plan this year. I have used the Art Room Chutes & Ladders game the last few years, and it was time for a change. I now use a Daily Points score sheet every time a class comes to the art room. Overall scores will be tallied and compared amongst all of the classes. The top overall score from each quarter will earn an art party with a yummy treat, recognition, and a special art project to complete for their class! So far, it has been going well, and we have a tie for first place after the first round of art class for the year!     |
