How cute are Mrs. Lawson's kindergarten students? They did beginning and end of year portraits. This is a great way to see how students have grown artistically. Students work on the studio habits of "observe" and "develop craft." Check out your child's online portfolio on Artsonia as the portraits are being uploaded. We surpassed 10,000 pieces of artwork uploaded this year!!

Fourth grade was thrilled to listen to local author Fran Borin this morning! She shared her history, read the prologue to one of her books, and talked about her writing process. #tes #tongienation #usd464
Mrs. Lawson loves end of the year portraits! All grades do beginning of the year and end of the year portraits; it's a great way to see how students have grown artistically. Students work on the studio habit of "observe" while looking at themselves in mirrors as well as the studio habit of "develop craft." These are just a few examples from fourth grade.

TES art teachers honored Remi Lynn (5th grade) and Joseph Templeton (4th grade) for being our two BEST Fine Arts Night tour guides. They were helpful to parents and students as well as knowledgeable of both where things were and Artomé details. We thank them for all their help this year and hope for more awesome helpers from 4th and 5th grade next year. 💕
