Expressive painting station on "Art Party" day.

This amazing letter was actually mailed to me at the school from a student! #thisisWhyIteach

September 2017
I am now teaching at Mill Pond and Hastings schools. I will miss Fales Elementary but am excited to work with the older 4th-6th grade students, most of whom I taught in elementary school! At Mill Pond we have begun our new year showing our creativity by creating small "pocket picture" drawings that we hung up on the walls. 

• Kindergarteners have begun learning "careful kindergarten coloring," in the lines, like a "number 3." We will soon paint pictures like the art Frank Stella.
• First Graders have been learning their repeating lines and will soon create work inspired by the artist Miro. 
• Second and Third Graders are creating their art class Sketchbooks. All of the art students in our Westborough schools make elementary or middle school sketchbooks. They are a place for students to make notes about famous artists, practice drawing techniques, and learn about the Elements and Principles of Art. Students will sketch unique ideas with new art materials and revise their work as they plan, alter, and share their work in this book. ​
