Baker Elementary
December 16, 2022
Welcome to Winter Break, Baker Families!
Our halls have been decked and the classrooms full of laughter as we engage our students in fun activities that link learning to our exciting season.
We appreciate your partnership in supporting classroom behaviors. Please remind your students as we return to school what it looks like to be respectful, responsible and safe at recess, within the classroom and at recess.
Our Baker Staff is sending you the warmest holiday wishes.
Respectfully,
Rachel Cimek

Distinguished Artist - Braylee
Braylee is the Distinguished Artist for her abstract circle painting. For this project we learned about shapes and how they can overlap to create new shapes! Students used yogurt cups to stamp their overlapping circles. We learned how to watercolor paint correctly and made sure that each new shape was a different color. Braylee was chosen for her circles because of her beautiful color choices and carefully painting each new shape!
Way to go Braylee!
Distinguished Artist - Harrison
Harrison is the Distinguished Artist for his colorful fall trees. For this project we learned about warm and cool colors and two painting techniques! Students used watercolor paint to make a background with the sky meeting the horizon line. We then used old dictionary paper to make our tree trunks. Finally students painted warm fall leaves at the top of their tree trunks.
Harrison was chosen for his landscape painting because of his unique sky
and his perfectly painted leaves.
Way to go Harrison!
