From Maggie Barnes…
This week in art class the students will be making “Imaginary Creatures”! Perhaps there
will be a Halloween influence? We will have to wait and see! They will be using air dry
clay and they will be ready to paint next week. Students can take them home after they
are dry. Look for some amazing creatures!
