Sample Lessons: Just two of the many art activities that our students experience.
Grade Two Worry Warrior Project
The art department and the guidance department collaborate to offer this clay project for grade two students. Students read the poem ‘What If…” by Shel Silverstein and discuss the problem of “worries”. Students explore and practice strategies that help to alleviate their worries and then build their “Worry Warriors”. When the child has a worry, he or she can write it on a slip of paper and place it in the Worry Warrior’s mouth. The Warrior will hold the worry and take care of it so that the child can relax and enjoy being a kid.
Cross-curricular connections: ELA, Emotional Health and Development.
Grade Five Gyotaku Fish Prints

He lights up the very deep sea.
He’s going to sleep”
