Kindergarten students in @JamiKupper class just finished reading "Mouse Paint" by Ellen Stoll Walsh. Then they mixed colors to paint primary/secondary color wheels. #wlcardpride
So proud of this student! His first prints (left) didn't turn out as well as he wanted. He problem solved and tried it again (right). The next prints turned out excellent! #wlcardpride #growthmindset

2nd grade students working on their projects. Some working on masks, some weaving, and some using sand to create a picture showing things that are important to them. They were inspired by the Native American art we discussed. #wlcardpride

1st grade classes started printmaking this week! We discussed how these are going to take us awhile so something winter related would be a good topic. Kids have done such an awesome job with these! #wlcardpride

My goal is for @TayeDiggs to see this video of my 3-year-old Desmond reciting “Chocolate Me”. Can y’all help me by retweeting it?!

Please don't remove students from physical education, music, Arts, or other classes to remediate them in other areas. The immediate and long term damage they are doing to these students can be significant. And at the very least, make them feel more defeated and hate school.
Kindergarten @JamiKupper class earned their choice time today and got to choose what they wanted to work with during class. Choices were: drawing with crayons/markers, modeling clay, shape games, matching games, or puzzles. They made quick work of the "big puzzle"!🎉#wlcardpride

5th grade students learned about Expressionism and Fauvism. They are creating pieces that either have a theme or show feeling/emotion using TAB centers. Some Ss are watching technique "How To" videos for centers that I've made and put in Google Classroom. #wlcardpride
4th graders creating pieces inspired by Japanese art. Students are choosing to work in a center: drawing, collage or painting or are making a mask or woodblock print. Some Ss are watching the "How To" videos for centers that I've made and put in Google classroom. #wlcardpride

Even though art is optional while we're remote, I've had some students post what they've been working on in the streams in my Google classrooms. I really love being able to interact with them still and seeing what they are creating! #wlcardpride

Super excited- Think I've finally gotten the kinks worked out of my website. Everything's accessible from Chromebooks, tablets, and phones. Invited all of my students to Google classroom where I've posted it for enrichment. Can't wait to see what they create! 🎉🎨🖌️ #wlcardpride
