First Full Week!

We have had a great start to the school year in the Dragonfly Studio!  The kids are excited at the freedom to create and are eager to earn more studios to open!  I decided to have a modified choice for kindergarten classes at individual tables instead of the full studios.  

Students started making their Idea books  to travel and sketch or write artistic ideas in to bring to class and their portfolios, which will house W.O.W. projects until the art show in the spring.
We also had a wonderful Back to School
Party provided by our PTO on Tuesday evening. Our fabulous firefighters even came out and cooled off our kids on the hottest day of the year!
Hope everyone has a great 3 day weekend!

First Day of 2013-2014 school year!

Miss Erickson's class had the honor of the tinsel cutting ceremony for the Dragonfly Studio!

It was an exciting day inviting students to the new studio!  Lots of ohhs and ahhs could be heard upon entering the room.  We went over some expectations and opened the drawing studio!  Students were excited to draw what they did this summer and share.
Looking forward to a fabulous year!  Keep an eye out in next week's communicator for Artsonia permission slips and new art expectations for students.
