With the Fall season in full swing I wanted to stop in and post a quick update about happenings in the Integrated Arts room! At the end of September, my family and I were pleasantly surprised by the early birth of our son Robby. He is healthy and beautiful, and has been the perfect addition to complete our family. Because of the unexpected nature of his arrival, I had to leave the classroom earlier than planned. Our kids have been so fortunate to have Mrs. Hooper, a certified art teacher, as their guest teacher for the past few weeks. She was kind enough to step in for me, until Mrs. Hughes could begin teaching for me during my planned maternity leave the first week of November. Mrs. Hughes will be teaching the class for me until I return after Christmas break, on January 4th. Both teachers are very experienced and knowledgable in the area of the arts. Mrs. Hooper and Mrs. Hughes will be working together to ensure a smooth transition. I will be having a "Meet the Integrated Arts Teacher Night" in January after my return, where parents will be invited to drop in to chat with me. I will also offer scheduled appointment times for anyone wishing to discuss their child's progress in a one-on-one setting. In the meantime, if you have any questions about what or how your child is doing in Integrated Arts class, please feel free to email me at [email protected]. I miss the kids SO much! Although I am enjoying my maternity leave, I am very anxious to get back to the classroom. Below are a few pictures from Mrs. Hooper showing what our kids have been up to! They have had a great time playing and learning in the gym. In music class, they continued learning about the difference between rhythm and beat. In art class, they learned about artist Vincent Van Gogh and his Sunflowers. They decorated vases and painted their own sunflowers, as well. Feel free to stop in to the Integrated Arts room at any time to view our WOW WORK board that features various students' art work each week.
