Artists

Below are some watercolor turkeys, pumpkins, farm landscapes, and a construction paper scarecrow created by our resident artists.  Please be sure to come to our hallway every few weeks in order to see the marvelous display of outstanding, creative artwork.  I love to display their work, it adds so much to our hallway.  Not  only do the kids paint, draw, and create, but also write about what they made!  There's been a lot of growth in the area of confidence in the quality of work.  The kids have been encouraged to compliment their friends on their work, too.  We spend time talking about an atmosphere of encouragement and building each other up; put downs and disparaging remarks are not allowed.  I'm sure many of you all remember hearing your mother say  "If you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all"  and these kindergartners hear it from me, too!   I'm pleased with all the kind compliments I hear going around!!  I hope you enjoy looking at a few examples of art:
