5th grade art displayed in superintendent's office

We were honored to hear that the superintendent asked for some artwork to be displayed in her conference room! This 5th grade project was something I saw on pinterest. These whimsical barn landscapes were inspired by NYC artist Heather Galler.

September 15th is international DOT DAY!

We are gearing up for "Dot Day"! Local author Peter Reynolds inspired us to "make a mark, and see where it takes you." We made some interesting connections with the book and Wassily Kandinsky's painting, Squares and Concentric Circles. Younger grades experimented with color with their dots. Third grade used primary colors to paint their "dots", and 4th and 5th graders used warm and cool colors. We love the message of this book!

An Exciting Start

I am so happy to be teaching at the Tucker School! Although it was sad to leave my wonderful students and friends in Watertown, it is exciting to be working in my home town. This week students explored LINE after discussing Wassily Kandinsky's paintings.
