The August art session with my little "firsties" was a HUGE success. We created "Wild About 1st Grade" self-portraits. They turned out so dang cute!

We'll be adding their writing prompt responses to "I'm WILD About 1st Grade Because..." as soon as we finish the edit process. I created a file with the guided art directions, supply list, and writing prompts. Feel free to…

Then we studied one of his most famous works of art "Starry Night." Students recreated…

We finished them off with a group of paper shapes for fins and tails, and some fish faces - some scary and some…
