Calendars are here!

Calendars are here and they look beautiful! Please come by the art room between 8:45am and 9:15am daily Or after school any day but Monday and Friday. Make sure I personally give you your copy and if I'm not in my room you will have to come at a better time. If you text me before then, I will make sure to be in my room.

I have had tons of people ask me if they could order calendars. Yes and no. If you still want to get a calendar please e-mail me and I will send you a link to the project on Shutterfly and you can order it individually. The price will be higher than $18 and this will be a personal purchase by you from Shutterfly.

The Calendars are ordered & A math contest and FREE giveaway to the winner!!

I ordered the 50 calendars this morning!!

Here is a math problem for the kids and a giveaway to the winner. The FIRST Murch family that e-mails me with the correct answer gets a free 16"x20"painting canvas and a brand new flat brush. My e-mail is Miriam.Cutelis@yahoo.com and you must identify in the e-mail the Murch child's full name, grade and teacher. The answer must be written in a full sentence. All math work MUST be done primarily by the child.

Math problem (drum roll please)

Ms. Cutelis got a great deal on the wall calendars for $10 each calendar from Shutterfly.com. She charged each person $18 for each calendar. Tax was $30 total for the entire order and shipping was free. The leftover money will go to International Bird Rescue Research Center as part of our fundraiser. How much money will we donate to the International Bird Rescue Research Center ?

To VIEW all paintings up close go to the gallery page.

This is the front cover. The children in each class voted for their peers. The top of each 5th grade class is on the cover.
Because there are 61 paintings and only 48 large slots, some paintings are displayed on the dates. This allowed me to also show these paintings in detail. See how the bird from the painting on the 10 of the month is highlighted on the 8th of the month.
Your calendar will be a spiral bind.
On the month pages, there will be 4 paintings per page. Each 5th grade class got 4 pages each.
I used the kids' in-class votes of each others' work as the criteria for choosing which work gets highlighted.
