Back to the Grind

We made it! The first week back to school has been hectic for all of us, teachers, students and staff with schedule changes, learning about expectations, class rules and new school policies and procedures.  However, we have to get to business right away as we have a lot of projects to cover this semester. 

This week I asked my students to create their own sketchbooks using card stock, watercolor, and sharpie markers. The results are fantastic! The sketchbooks are glowing with each students personality.
