The hardest part of being an art teacher is having to chose a limited number of student artworks to display in our district art show! It’s like picking a favorite color, I just have sooooo many! Here is a video of this year’s K-5 selections! In a few weeks, we will have are school’s art show where I can display ALL students’ amazing artworks 🎉🤩

Our school was lucky to get a chance to submit questions to astronauts in space! They will answer them live at our upcoming STEAM Fair in March and we are creating space themed art to display at the fair. 3rd grade worked in pairs to research a satellite and create art inspired by it. They are looking fantastic!!

This evening we celebrated the life of our fellow educator and friend, Noah. On the blog, I share his legacy of love and a glimpse into the process of dealing with the grief that comes with losing a dear member of our school community. https://www.mijateachesart.com/blog-1/grief
