Beautification

Last Saturday we had First Baptist Church and A bunch of parents take time out of their busy schedule to come and Beautify Sabal Palm and assist our faculty and staff in some much need help around the school.
They had Cheer leading and Basketball camp for the students while the parents worked. It was a very productive day. THANK YOU FIRST BAPTIST AND PARENTS!!!!!

HALLOWEEN FAMILY SATURDAY FUN

OCTOBER 26, 2013 is going to be a fun day! FSU Museme is hosting a Trick or Arting Crafting events for all Elementary schools in the area. I hope we have the most students to attend. The students can where costumes, create art and have their face painted and a whole lot more. Of course yours truly will be there not really sure what I will dress up as or if I  am dressing up. We will see!

ARTSONIA WELCOMES SABAL PALM

Sabal Palm is now on ARTSONIA!!!! Artsonia is an on line museum that showcases only children's art work. How Cool is that!!! Now a few things have to be done. I need some parent consent. I was told our school does have these things on file but looking for 500+  permission forms is not going to be on our secretary's list of important things to do, anyway I don't want to bombard her with this she has been super busy. I decided to send my own and follow up with her later. If you are a parent of reading this you can go online and give consent and not have to sign a single piece of paper. I am really excited to see our students work displayed in other places. So check us out. I will be uploading and as parents sign on you will start seeing our wonderful artist work displayed.

Weaving Warm and Cool Colors

So this project I am very excited about, It is a short weaving project. It's the last one we will do this nine weeks. ! Last year my second graders did a nine week long project on weaving and they loved it and they produced some amazing paper weaving and fabrics. So this year I want to keep the weaving going and they are going to weave together (paper weaving) two papers that they painted using warm and cool colors. They are excited about it also.  I saw the project on ART SMUDGE and thought it would be great for our students. I will keep you posted.

 These are last year's second grade weaving projects. My now 3rd graders.

OH THOSE COMPLEMENTARY COLORS

As the first nine weeks winds down for my wonderful second graders we have one more project to complete,COMPLEMENTARY COLORS PROJECT!

Repeat Pattern Color wheel

So Test week is over now we are about to dive into our color wheel project. I know what you are think, isn't it the almost the end of the nine weeks. Yes you are correct. We have been learning about and physically doing some color mixing. I wanted them to get comfortable with the process because the next two projects are going to be nothing but color mixing. 5th and 4th grade projects usually roll over on to the next nine weeks. By that time they are use to the pace. ( I only see them nine times or eight times in a nine weeks)

I thank we are off to a good start.
