Fantastical Creatures

Today, the MacLaren Art Gallery brought their Van Go program to our classroom. A link to their brochure is below. We participated in the "Fantastical Creatures" class described on page 2. Students created their mythical creatures from modelling clay. The results are fantastic, and I know everyone is eager to show off their creation! Depending on the humidity in the classroom, the sculptures should be ready to go home on Friday. If not, then Monday. Apparently, the best thing for them is to put a thin layer of white glue on them. It will dry clear and offer protection.
Please remember to send the $5 to help cover the cost of this great experience. Thanks to those who have already done so.
Note home - Wrap order forms for February went home yesterday. They are due Feb. 1st.
PD Day - remember that Monday is a PD day, no school for the kiddies. A note on pictures published on the web - This is the first time I have put pictures on the blog. Please know that I make every effort to avoid putting anything that might in some way identify a student. In other words, no pictures of students will appear on this blog, or names for that matter.
Have a good night.
