Auction Art Work Contest Due Dec 7th!

See my posting on this blog earlier in November for ideas for the Roaring 20's theme! The Art Work for the Auction Booklet is due Dec 7th in the school office.  Please see me for any help you might need and if you are in my Middle School Art Class please let me see your entry before you turn it in to the office for your 5 extra credit points.  Thank you Ms. Sarah  P.S  I will be in my classroom Friday after school doing daycare if you want help.

Kinder Nativity & Making the Play Sets

This week the Kindergarten made the Nativity Scene all on their own.  Mrs. T does this every year and it is priceless.  Each student pulls an assigned character out of a bowl and then draws it totally on their own.  The collection of all their drawings is too cute!  It is on the bulletin board in the Sky Room closest to the kitchen.  This week with my Art time we have made handprint art.  Three upside down hands become the three camels for the Three Wise Men , and a footprint becomes......................well that will have to be a surprise.  If your child's foot was a weird color.....this is why.  I tried washing them the best I could not to stain any socks.  The girls had to take off tights and put them totally back on again.  I hope you enjoy as i start to display their work.  I try to make things you will keep and get out with your Christmas decor , they are only in Kindergarten once and it goes by sooooooo quickly.

I was so happy to have Middle School Art Class this week!  With half days and Veterans day practice we haven't had class in a month!  This last Wednesday in class we built some of the props needed for the Charlie Brown Christmas Play.  Remember to mark it on your calendars December 15th 3:00 in the Sky Room.  All the students will sing Christmas songs, and the middle school students are acting in the play.  It should be very heart felt and a nice way for all to celebrate the season.  Happy Birthday Jesus!

Roaring 20's Auction Art Contest Theme Ideas to Inspire Your Design


Here are some photos and drawings to help you understand the style and looks from the "Roaring 20's"
Students in the Middle School Art Class that turn in an entry that is finished and is quality work (not rushed and colorfully finished) will receive 5 extra credit points in Art Class.  I will be happy to help guide you or answer any questions on how to start drawing.  Remember this is a cover to the Auction Booklet, so you need a heading.  Example:  The St. Anne School 2013 Auction Dinner or The Roaring 20's Auction Dinner for St. Anne School..............etc.......Follow all the instructions on which way your paper must be and make nice bold outlines with color.  Thank you.

Thanksgiving Ideas and Pictures




Thankful Week!

Remember that we have half days at school Wednesday , Thursday, and Friday.  The students get out of school at NOON.  There is after school care available, see school office to sign up for it.

This week and next I am sorry to say I don't have Middle School Art because of the half days.

This week in Kindergarten I have enjoyed making Pinecone Feather Turkeys with students.

This Saturday is BINGO at 6:30.  This Bingo night is always great fun.........I won a turkey for Thanksgiving a couple of years ago.  Preparing a "free" turkey you have won is fun!

We are traveling over the Thanksgiving week and will not see you all next week at school.  Have a wonderful and safe holiday.  We have so much to be thankful for and at the top of my list is St. Anne School.  Happy Thanksgiving.
