Little Picassos!

I have to brag on you parents...if it weren't for your support, our school would not be as great as it is! Today was our first Art Day of 2nd grade. Our mom, Ms. Tracy, stepped in as our art teacher. What an amazing job she did! Her examples were fantastic and she handled our class like a pro! When one of our friends didn't want to use the same colors as everyone else, she encouraged him to mix the colors and create new ones. He ended up working with a beautiful turquoise-esque hue. Also, she used her artistic eye to get one of our other friends to see that his portrait could work either "right side up" AND "upside down." Thank you, Ms. Tracy! What a great way to encourage critical thinking outside of the normal subjects! Here's a quick video highlighting our day.
