Welcome Back

The Art room is already producing some great works. Kinders new to coming to Art are learning their way around.

What's new and exciting this year is that Grades 1-5 will have Art two times per week for a total of 80 minutes per week. I expect to get a lot of creative work done and we have already started.

Grade 1
Look for our patch of sunflowers. Room 14 will be making a reading yellow submarine. Room
16 have already completed a Matisse like project that reinforced a reading lesson.

Grade 2
Illustrated and wrote about what they did on their summer vacation.

Grade 3
Has been busy painting sunflowers in the style of Vincent Van Gogh.

Grades 4-8
Are doing a Missionary project and the finished project will be entered in an Archdioceses competition.

Additionally, as you know St. Linus has been designated as a National Blue Ribbon School look for Blue Ribbons everywhere, made by our 8th Graders.

Finally, I also teach 6th Grade Religion to room 22. Look here for homework and test information.

Please stop in the Art Room on Parent Orientation Night, Tuesday September 27th.

4th -8th GradeCompete in Missionary "We are the hands and feet of Jesus" Art Contest

Students in grade 4-8 created, as their first project, an art project that portrayed the idea of Missionaries. We watched a video describing what missionaries do. Students brainstormed ideas of how to be missionaries and be the hands and feet of Jesus. They then made an art poster or project based on the ideas they came up with. These will be sent downtown to the archdiocese office of mission to be judged. Good luck to all the classes who worked very hard to complete this project!

Students finished painting their reading spot-a yellow submarine. It will be moved from the Art Room to their classroom and the portholes that students painted will be attached. Mr. Fox our gym teacher helped by building wooden supports that reinforce the submarine (formerly a refrigerator box). Enjoy reading Grade 1!
