      The custodial staff will be relieved to know that we are nearing the end of our unit on clay.  The eighth graders are the only ones NOT done yet, as I have promised each one of them individual one-on-one instruction at the potters' wheel.  The rest of the class will move on to the next project while I pull them individually.  I'll talk to the class about this and see where they want to go next as far as media and technique go, but we will probably enter into color and landscape painting---either that or abstraction and design.  This could also be paired with color studies.  I know allowing students to make these decisions is not the norm, but it works for us, and it is good for them to take ownership of their own education.
     7th graders are going to move into a unit on weaving.  We will start with paper weaving and then possibly move into coil baskets or pine needle baskets.  When the eighth graders are done with paint, the seventh grade will begin painting, and the eighth grade will move into weaving.
     Sixth graders, our time is up.  I have thoroughly enjoyed working with you!  If you miss art class, please feel free to come to OPEN ART STUDIO on the second and fourth Thursdays of each month.  The studio is open from 3:20-4:30 and parents are asked to pick up students in the bus parking lot.  Bring a friend and a snack!!  The second week of November we are gonna tie-dye T-shirts.  It's a bring your own shirt to dye party: 100% cotton works best.  Hope to see you there!!  Christman
