Happy Valentine's Day!

Good afternoon!

I don't know about you but my heart is full of love 💗  right now. Thank you to all my students for being in my class; it is an honour to be your teacher!

This morning we started off the day feeling the L-O-V-E. Thanks to Ms. Connie for taping this word on to paper for each member of our learning community. We used paint to cover the word and required reminders of how wet/dry the brush needs to be. How much water on a brush was too much? What does the paint look like when there is less water? We discovered the paint looked "richer" on paper. Some students painted horizontally, some vertically, and some swirled paint. We used primary and secondary colours and blended beautifully. I am always amazed at the creativity of my students. Here are photographs of work in progress:













Waiting for paint to dry means having patience. Fortunately we went swimming, came back in time for lunch, read a book, and completed another art project before pulling off the tape. The results? Amazing! Have a look:

Library books due tomorrow.
Scholastic orders due tomorrow.
