It's possible you've received an email from Artsonia, our online art gallery. In the art room, we use Artsonia to upload pictures of our work, write reflections, and title projects. Families may log in to Artsonia to check their child's work, or scan the QR code.
Artsonia also contains a gift shop, where loved ones can purchase items with artwork printed on it. A small portion of those purchases help fund art supplies.
Feel free to reach out to me, Mrs. Mescher-Miller if you have any questions!
Our focus for the month of October is "Responsibility". Here is a list of recommended books about responsibility.
What does it mean to be responsible?
In the classroom:
Being prepared: Arriving on time, being attentive in class and bringing necessary supplies.
Doing your work: Completing assignments and striving to do your best work.
Caring for property: Taking good care of school property and your personal belongings.
Contributing to a positive environment: Showing respect for others, and asking questions when you need help.
At home and in the community:
Completing chores: Doing tasks like cleaning up messes, emptying the trash, or feeding a pet.
Being dependable: Being trustworthy and doing what you say you will do.
Making good choices: Thinking about your actions and their potential outcomes, both positive and negative.
Taking ownership: Acknowledging your mistakes and accepting the consequences, whether good or bad.
Why is responsibility important?
It builds self-discipline and confidence.
It equips children with important life skills for future success.
It fosters a sense of accountability for one's actions and choices.
It helps children become responsible citizens who care for others and their communities.
