Sorry I'm a day late, but better late than never, right? Hope you all enjoyed a wonderful "Turkey Day" four day weekend; I know I did. Now here's what's coming up for this week:
MONDAY--Students will file all of the pencil sketches they have done, then will experiment with charcoal (our next medium). There should be no homework.
TUESDAY--Students will use the charcoal to complete a cup drawing. This will be due at the end of the period, so there will be no homework.
WEDNESDAY--Students will make charcoal drawings of Christmas ornaments. This will be due at the end of the period. Thus there will be no homework.
THURSDAY--Students will use charcoal to make drawings of overlapping Christmas decorations. As usual, these will be due at the end of the period, so no homework.
FRIDAY--Students will make charcoal sketches of overlapping leaves, which will be due at the end of the period. These will be completed in class, so should be no homework.
The only other special announcement I can think of is that I will be gone on Friday, and there will be a substitute teacher in my place. The students have had her before, so things should go smoothly. As always, if you have any questions, comments, or concerns, please feel free to contact me (email address: humblem@tenino.k12.wa.us or classroom phone number 360-264-3644).
Hope you enjoy this chilly week,
