Dear Parents,
Welcome to art at Murch. Teachers at Murch have been very busy this week planning and preparing for the new school year. We are very excited to begin next week and cannot wait to start teaching. For those who do not know me, I am Miriam Cutelis, the art teacher at Murch. This is my 13th year teaching and my second year at Murch. To find out a little about me click here.
Please refer to the post below this one for supplies your child will need for art. Supplies are due the first week in school to the classroom teacher labeled ART.
I will be posting information about volunteer opportunities in the art classroom by Monday of next week, so please check back then for more details on how to help out in the art room. This year I will be assigning specific dates and times to specific tasks and parents or guardians would then be able to sign up for these tasks through http://www.volunteerspot.com. Like last year, for parents that would instead like to simply pop in once and assist during their child's art class, they would also be able to sign up through http://www.volunteerspot.com starting Monday.
This year each child will have a (2D) art portfolio that will remain in the art room until the end of the year at which point they will go home with your child. 3D work, such as sculptures and constructed structures will go home when done or after they are displayed. For parents that want to participate and be informed about the activities in the art room, please sign up with this blog (on the top left) so that you get e-mail reminders when I post new projects.
If you have any questions, suggestions or comments, feel free to contact me at Miriam.Cutelis@yahoo.com. See you all very soon.
