Picketing on 45th

We are back in school!  Creating artwork for our Reflection Space

We can snack in classroom now!

Reading a book book in class during read, write, and draw time.

Journaling and drawing...

Using our new journals to record our thoughts.

Reading on Kindle too...

Another classroom book.



Working on our Identity Hands project.

We outline our hands in pencil,

When we are satisfied, we outline it in sharpie.

Oops, we take a break to go to library...

Then we copy some zentangles - repeating patterns and shapes that we like, and stretch our artistic minds...

We need to copy three, then we 

play with color,

then we create our own zentangles by combining the samples or creating our own!


Working with our friends and sharing ideas makes it more fun.

Our Reflection space is coming along, showcasing art from our classes!
