may art challenge

Don't forget that the May Art Challenge extra credit is up on our class Instagram page. Although I will still post art challenges throughout the year, the May Art Challenge is the last extra credit for the 2017-2018 school year. I will be collecting the extra credit June 4-8, so if you are working on it, make sure to turn it in! :-) Please make sure to check Power School this weekend! I am currently updating grades for Mid-quarter (which will be finalized this Friday). Unfortunately the mid-quarter grades will be sent home the end of the month, which leaves very little time to complete extra credit if you are unhappy with your grade. Use this as a great opportunity to bring those grades up!!

Our artwork lost & found is OVERFLOWING with work. None of these have names on the back!! Unfortunately, I cannot give grades for work that does not have a name on it. Please check Power School this weekend to see if anything is missing, and check the lost & found basket next week so that I can update grades.

mid quarter

Just a friendly reminder that mid-quarter grades close this Friday (5/18). Grades will be posted by Friday May 25. If you are not happy with your grade, I strongly suggest that you complete assignments and work on the May Art Challenge for extra credit. There will not be an extra credit art challenge for the month of June. I am also after school on Tuesdays for students who need to complete any assignments. If you have outstanding work and would like to complete it prior to the mid-quarter progress reports, you can stay after Tuesday 5/22.

Save the date! Our end of the year art show is on Thursday, June 14. It starts at 6:30 but we will be there until the end of the concert. If you cannot make it at 6:30, that is fine! Stop by for a few minutes and check out the awesome artwork! All my current students who have been with me since at least May 1 will have a piece of art on display. Look forward to seeing you all there!! :-)

Thank you!
