I'm trying something new this year, with the kindergarteners and some of my other classes. I put together art journals for them (three prong folders with lots of blank paper). The kindergarten students love them, and enjoy working with them every week.

These first graders are happy and excited to draw new things. We discussed geometric and organic shapes.



A fifth grader who enjoys creating 3-D structures made this for his sister: "It's a ballerina. With a big mouth."
