Message from the Principal
Dear Advantage Arts Family,
We had a great week packed with fun things happening here at Advantage Arts. Mrs. Jahnsen's class did a great job with their "wax museum". The students were well prepared, and they were able to recite their big speaking parts by memory! Also, we had class pictures on Wednesday. Friday was the Scales and Tales assembly organized by our student council.
Just a reminder that we are coming up on the end of the year. There is a lot going on between now and the last day, so make sure you are checking with your teachers to find out how to get involved. We have one more week until Spring Break. Let's make it a great one!
Mr. Kano
Mrs. Jahnsen's Wax Museum
Today we had a Wax Museum for Mrs. Jahnsen's 3rd grade class! Everyone here at Advantage Arts Academy LOVED seeing all the hard work they had put into these projects. They made posters for the exhibits and dressed as their person for today as well as performed a song as a class and wrote speeches. Previously they wrote reports on the subjects they chosen. We loved learning about all these famous people!
Center Stage
3rd Grade Minecraft Portraits
In third grade students are learning about finding the area and perimeter of basic shapes. We thought that minecraft connected to this because everything is made up of basic squares and rectangles. Students made portraits in the minecraft style and found the perimeter of their portrait.
2nd Grade Geometric Desserts
In second grade, students are learning about geometric shapes. We looked at examples of art by the artist Wayne Thiebaud, who paints desserts that are made up of geometric shapes. Students picked which dessert they wanted to create and what shapes they would need to make it. Then they used oil pastels to color in the desserts and watercolors to paint the background. These turned out beautifully!
1st Grade Number Pictures
In first grade we focused on how to represent a number visually. Students thought about something they could make using only rectangles and squares. Then they collaged the rectangles and squares and counted them by tens and ones to find how many squares they used.
After School Clubs
ART CLUB WILL BE HELD THIS WEDNESDAY, April 13th
ART CLUB IS NOW FULL! Please be sure you have paid your art club fee. There is a $40 participation fee that needs to be paid in the office to cover the cost of supplies. Art Club is two times a month from now until May. Art Club starts right after school at 3:15 in the art room (Room Number 203). If you have any questions on dates or questions about art club please email Mrs. Redd at mredd@advantagearts.org.
Violin Music Club
Violin Club will be for 3rd-6th Grade Student and is on MONDAY, TUESDAY, WEDNESDAY, and THURSDAY from 3:15-4:15. Students in the Violin Music Club will need go straight to ROOM 201 (Next to Mrs. Redd's art room) after school. On the day your student has club, larger instruments can be brought into the front office in the morning and must be picked up on the way to room 210.
Drama Club
Drama Club practice for Little Women. Please make sure younger siblings are picked up and your student is coming prepared to focus and work hard. We are so excited to see the students shine in this play!
