Art Week Concludes 2019

Two weeks of art based on our Journey’s textbook story “The Dot” ended with inviting our parents and families to our own “McKinley Art Gallery” show.  So many students exclaimed that they would miss art week and our own personal art gallery images in our classroom at the end of the day.

This is always one of my favorite times during our year, but it is exhausting! It is all worth it though.  The families were exposed to great masterpieces in our classroom gallery, regaled with “The Dot” song with motions, walked the hallways enjoying the student created art with their child, read several pieces of writing written by their child, ate school lunch with them, and got to go to recess, too.  Everyone had a great time.  One grandmother that attended said “This is so much fun!  Thank you for inviting us.”  Art always brings joy in my opinion, and these past weeks are full of this emotion.

I am sharing some photographs of the past weeks activities and art.  I am sorry I did not keep up with the day-by-day previous blog posts.  This last post will have to do.  Thanks for being here and sharing in our fun learning!!
