Welcome Back My Most Amazing Artists! We have been busy creating, learning, and exploring in the art studio! Kindergartners focused on learning different types of lines and made a Line Hat! So fun! First and Second graders created beautiful symmetrical butterflies for our front hallway display and focused on BELIEVING in ourselves! Older students created a sketchbook to use in the art studio for the entire year! Next up for all students… We are celebrating International Dot Day on September 15th! Wear your dots to school that day! Want to see more? Follow us on Instagram @wellstigerart and on Facebook: Tiger Art Studio. Come see all the fun!

Library

This month in the library students will be learning how to search the library catalog (Koha) to find books they are interested in reading. Students can search by title, author, or subject to see what is available or already checked out. In addition to the library catalog, the Koha web page also has links to our elementary library resources for research and more.
