I am an art teacher in a rural school district and I am passionate about making a difference in the lives of the students I teach. When I first started this blog many years ago I had more time to write and over the last few years I haven't posted as much. Public education has been changing and I hope to offer some encouragement and support to others during the coming months. Thanks for checking in.

1st Grade Extension: Snowflakes
This photo didn't turn out very well, but I thought this was a great art extension that is worth sharing. Mrs. Reary gave each of her children a coffee filter and taught them how to fold it and cut out shapes to make a snowflake. Then they painted it with the same cool colors we used in art class. They finished their project by writing about it and then mounting everything on black paper. They even added silver glitter for a sparkly winter look.
