What has your artist been up to?

Hello Parents and Students!

This is Miss Davila, I am writing to tell you about the unit plan that I have written for your artists.  They are currently getting to learn how to draw trees from observation to help support the next part of the unit.  Some of the classes have began to research an animal and they are writing about where it lives, what it eats and some of it's daily activities.  Integrating reading and writing will allow your artists to create 3-D models of the habitat of the animal of their choosing as well as drawing the animal in it's habitat with sticks!  Students get to hike on the paths, (on school grounds) to collect materials to construct their habitats which is also integrating science concepts about plants and animals sharing space.  I have been working hard to write fulfilling lesson plans for your artist that enriches them across the disciplines to support their knowledge in other subjects while still keeping it playful and relevant to creating art! I hope that they have had fun stories to tell you about their adventures and findings.

Have a nice day and check back again soon!
