UGH!!!!  Tomorrow is the first optional day back at school!  Don't get me wrong, I am extremely excited to begin teaching art at the brand new elementary school, I just know every year I get completely stressed out with everything that I want to have ready and do.  I literally have been on the computer, mainly pinterest, all day getting awesome ideas about how to set up the art room and the theme this year.  I have decided since we are the Pirates, the theme will be "Arrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrt- an adventure that never ends!"  So now i am forcing myself to get off the computer and go actually get stuff done!!!

Art garden

Our Japanese Art Garden is almost finished thanks to a grant from the Ponte Vedra Education Foundation.
The mosaic we are working on for the wall is based on the famous Japanese art print below!

First grade

We're busy finishing up many projects. First graders color theory project called Cool hands Warm Heart looked great. I am going to hang them up in the hallway!

5th grade

The fifth graders today finished their chalk pastel fruit still life drawings and I laminated them. I can't wait to hang them out in the hallway. They really look great
