Coffee Cart-Feel Good Friday
Feel Good Friday just keeps getting better! Stephen Baker had the awesome idea to start up a coffee cart for the Warrior Academy kiddos and the FA-3 kiddos to run together on Friday mornings. The cost will be $1.00 per cup, and we have creamers and sweeteners as well!
The funds will just replenish the cart from week to week, but the personal interaction and functional skills the kids are going to learn from this will be invaluable! I am looking forward to watching them grow throughout the year and build relationships with you all through this venture!
I have included the Google Sheet that we will use each week to fill orders. There is a cell for your name, classroom number for 1st period assignments, type of drink, and if you need a disposable cup, or if you'll have your own mug for us to make it in!
Thank you all in advance for your support of this fun idea, and to Baker for getting it all together. I love our big Warrior Tribe!
Thanks again!
Baker and Megan

6th Grade Art!
Picasso "Hero". The goal of this assignment was to teach students to loosen up a little and realize that not all things that look "bad" are actually bad. There is beauty in all things whether they be misshapen, warped, or made strange. It's all about intention with this one. We based our work on the weird/wild artwork of Pablo Picasso and made ourselves acquainted with the slightly uncontrollable nature of oil pastels.
