Art Class syllabus

Hi Susan,


Since I wasn't specific about my art projects for this semester at the Mom's meeting, I thought I should send out an email. I am also a bit concerned that we (history, life skills, and art) may duplicate each other too much in our efforts to co-ordinate our teaching. (I don't relish the idea of the kids coming to my class bored because they already did the same thing in a previous class--or two. )



Here's my plans:

1--Greek pottery: working with clay

2--Chinese silk: weaving with felt strips and other things

3--Persia: mosaics

4--Alexander the Great: metalwork items made with aluminun foil, etc.

5--Roman culture: painting on plaster forms

6--Cleopatra: not totally sure yet, possibly drawing "tricks of the trade"

7--Focus on communication: alphabets of the time, writing styles including caligraphy



Moms working with Pre-K--4th: Let me know if we need to make any alterations.



I wanted to pass this through you first in case you had any thoughts to add. Would you please forward this to the group? Thank you!

Science items and free stuff

In the foyer are some free books.  Fell free to look and take.


Outside the teacher's lounge are some science materials.  If you could use them for your class please let Allison Nix know.  We will put it in storage.  Otherwise we will find them a new home.

5/6th moms

5th and 6th graders moms need to check their folders in the mom's room today.


The answers to the kids worksheets are in them and the guidelines for the project due on March 18th.
