Getting Ready For Rosh Hashana

We've been so busy in the Art Room getting ready for Rosh Hashana.   The Kindergarten and First graders will definitely enjoy their apples and honey with their hand made honey dishes and apple plates. Many of us like to eat round challahs and this year they will look especially lovely covered in the hand painted challah covers created by the second graders.  May it be Hashem's will to grant us a year of goodness and sweetness as we read the Yehi Ratzon decorated by the third graders.  Apple kugals are a very tasty treat, and the Junior High girls agree that they are just as fun to bake as they are to eat!  Enjoy the video https://youtu.be/p2NqkqlW7Qc and Have a Shana Tova Umitukah.

Chalk and Glue Mandalas

For the first project of the year I chose this amazing activity form the Art of Ed website.  The students created Mandalas using glue and when the glue dried they used chalk to color them in.  I was so impressed and surprised by the diversity of the results.  Here is a short video so you can watch the students at work.
