Greetings Saint Ambrose Community,
Welcome to the 2009/2010 school year!
I look forward to an exciting, fun school year.
Kinders- Will be working on a book about art. We will begin with the cover.
The students will be introduced to the circle family, the dot family, the
straight line family, the curvy line family, and the angle line family. They
will use these families to decorate the front and back cover of their book.
The first page of the book will use the primary colors.
First Grade- Nature will be the inspiration (fire flies and dragon flies)for
our watercolor resist project.
Second Grade- Will have fun creating a collage scarecrow, from paper plates,
construction paper, material scraps, and raffia.

Will be creating an art portfolio. This project will be due the week of
September 22nd.
