Hello Parents, Students and Friends, I am so excited to be teaching your wonderful and creative children once again this year. The first day of class we learned and talked about imagination, creativity, innovation, and collaboration. We worked on a collaborative project making original and unique sea creatures in small groups, for our underwater display. The “Sea of Creativity†is hanging outside the art room, has work by every student 1st- 5th, and looks amazing! Art volunteers are needed occasionally and are appreciated to help out with a particular lesson or to hang up an art show. If you are interested, please email me at njdenijs@henrico.k12.va.us. I will put you on my list. Tennis balls needed for the art stools- if you have any old ones, please send them to school. We will be doing another collaborative project in the future and will be collecting old pieces of jewelry, metal, trinkets, beads, and any interesting small object. Feel free to send your old, unwanted goods to school any time. Thanks very much, Nancy J. de Nijs, Art Teacher
