MUNNY DAY!

Mrs. Mullaney's fifth grade class spent the last few art classes of the semester designing their own 'toy figures', purchasing the class pack of Munny Kid Robot figures.  How did they purchase them?  Well...over the course of the year, all classes earn "Weller Bux!" with the opportunity to spend them from time to time on a variety of things.  Mrs. Mullaney's class has been closely monitoring how many "Weller Bux!" they had in their account, and strategically bought they Kid Robot project with $175 Weller Bux!  The kids loved it, and I think there are now a large number of other fifth grade classes a little upset that they didn't earn their "Bux" as quickly as Mrs. Mullaney's class did.

GIACOMETTI FOIL FIGURES

"Rapper" by Mason Larimore

Inspired by the distorted, slender figure sculptures of Alberto Giacometti, the fifth graders on the green and yellow team are finishing up their semester of art making these fantastic foil figures.  We are finishing up the figures this week, and I'm very impressed with the kids' creativity, especially when using the colored wire.  Truly some great projects are being created and I can't wait to pack the showcases with them.

Yes..."Art to Remember" orders are here!!!  I am trying my best to get all students their orders by the end of this week.  There have been a few minor issues with a few orders, and I will contact you directly if it pertains to you.  I'm sorry...there's just not enough time in my day to get all orders out in one day.  Again...your child should be bringing their orders in by week's end.  Thanks so much for your patience!  I do greatly appreciate it!

6th Grade Comics

"Cheese-Burger" by Chloe Springston

The 6th grade classes are putting the finishing touches on their comic strip projects.  Earlier this nine weeks we dissected comic strips to discover the best way to create them.  All students created their own characters, wrote their own stories, and then created story boards to best help them draw and ink their final drafts.  As an added bonus, the Marysville Journal Tribune has offered to print some in the paper sometime in early 2014!  WHOOHOO!!!  How exciting!!!

WOW!

I showed you a small sampling of these last week...but don't they look amazing on the display board in the commons?  So proud and impressed with the kids' work!

Hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving!!!
