Next Week (the week of 10/14)

This 9 weeks is flying by at an unbelievable pace!  7th grade students have begun a fantasy animal project using recycled materials.  Bringing recyclable materials is part of the final fantasy animal project grade.  The project is 100 points.  Recyclable materials make up 20 of those points.  Each student needs to bring 4 recyclable items at the minimum (they should have a list in their agenda).  These items were due today, Friday Oct. 11.  Many students brought them.  Several students in each (2,3, and 5th) class have not.  I have extended the deadline until Monday.  Monday is the last day to receive full credit for recycle items. 

Eighth graders in my 6th period class need to complete reflections on the art work they have completed.  We reflected on their successes and challenges and the processes or techniques they used to complete the big projects they have done.  There are three reflections that must be turned in as a paragraph using the art vocabulary we discussed while making the project.  The clay project reflection, the narrative/contour drawing reflection, and the optical illusion (Op Art) project reflection are the three reflections.  I am missing several of these from 6th period students.  First and 6th period students will be painting their clay projects beginning Monday!!  They are using acrylic paint which dries to be plastic.  Clothes can be damaged if students are careless.  If you or your child are concerned about their clothing (or sports uniform) please provide an apron or old shirt for him or her.  He or she can bring it in to the art room (MONDAY) and store it in his or her cubby.
