Picasa Photo Edit and Picnik

As all those great summer photo's are taken, give kids an opportunity to play with some photo editing.

Free software like Google's Picasa can be downloaded for free and includes many ways to crop, change, highlight, and otherwise edit pictures.

Art Night Review

Our school wide art night a week ago was a huge success.  It was great seeing students of all ages come through and try the different art projects! 

I was rather jealous that I had to stay in my classroom while the students got to go make such cool projects.

These are only a few of the neat ideas from our amazing art teacher.  Later on I saw that there was home made silly puddy too!  Too cool!

Art is such a great way for students to express themselves and convey their knowledge.

Parents, I know you like all those art moments too!  I saw you just as focused as the students creating right along side them.  Great family time!
