Farewell Irving 5th Graders!

My first year at Irving was when the current 5th graders were in 3rd grade. Time really flies and I've enjoyed getting to know the students for the past three years. It is hard to believe they are already heading off to middle school!I will especially miss my lunch-time art helpers next year! Several girls have been coming to the art room once a week to help me with various things, a few have been helping out since they were in 4th grade. This is a picture of the back-drop they created for the send-off on Friday. It's hard to tell from the photo, but it is about 7x4 feet. The girls worked together to paint it after I created a simple outline, they did a great job! It was hung in the gym and students were able to take pictures in front of it during the luncheon that followed the send-off.

Good luck in middle school, 5th graders! It's been fun getting to know you the past three years and we'll miss you at Irving!

Fun with Clay

Here are some clay creations by the students in Mrs. Parkinson's and Mrs. Klette's 2nd grade classes.
