Greetings!Dear Parents and Students,
Throughout the year, I plan on exposing my students to a wide range of different artists, art styles, and art mediums. I will encourage them to talk intelligently about art and see beauty in the world around them. They will learn how to use the elements and principles of design in their art pieces. They will also learn about how art has evolved throughout history and explore multicultural arts. SMUSD will be using Schoology as their new learning management system. This is a completely new platform for me as I have always used Unified Classroom, so please be patient with me as I am still navigating it. Some students are already comfortable with Schoology, and for those who are not, I will guide them through it our first week of school. It’s very important that your child uses Schoology for all communication, checking and turning in assignments/projects, taking quizzes/tests, and participating in art reviews and discussions. Finally, I want you to know that one of my goals this year is to keep the lines of communication open with you and your child. Please email me ([email protected]) if you have any questions or concerns this semester. Best, Mrs. Macedo |
