Art Plans for January 26th through 30th, 2015

Greetings!

Well, the first semester is nearly at an end, so this will be a busy week.  The grade you see on this progress report is not necessarily "what you see is what you get" because we have some things that will be turned in this week, but it's pretty darned close.  So here are the plans for the week:

MONDAY & TUESDAY--Students will work on their clay masks, so NO HOMEWORK.

WEDNESDAY--If necessary, students will work on their clay masks, otherwise we will watch a video on Leonardo da Vinci.  Either way, NO HOMEWORK.

THURSDAY--We will have our end of the quarter auction and will elect our new treasurer, so NO HOMEWORK.

FRIDAY--NO SCHOOL--INSERVICE DAY FOR TEACHERS

Aside from no school on Friday, the only other announcement I can think of is that I will be gone on Tuesday for Science training in Tumwater, but the students know this substitute teacher well, so there should be no problems.

As always, please contact me with any questions, comments, or concerns, and I'll get back to you as soon as I can.  The phone number in the classroom is (360) 264-3644 and the best email to contact me is humblem@tenino.k12.wa.us

Have a wonderful week & Go Hawks!
