Parent/Guardian Letter
Dear Parent or Guardian,
I wanted to take this opportunity
to introduce myself and express my excitement about working with your child not
only in the classroom this semester, but also on my blog and wiki. I love teaching art because I care so much
about each of my students. I believe that students can grow immensely through
art with expressing themselves and also understand the different aspects of our
world. The main goal of my course is to learn to express themselves in various
mediums and understand the history of art and how to apply it to the real
world.
The unit we are currently working
on is our Egyptian Mummy Mask unit. The students are making their masks out of
clay to represent them. The Web quest and blog are used to extend the learning
to outside of school and provide them with more information and in turn,
prepare them in not only art, but other disciplines as well. You, or your
student can access the information on any computer. I am asking the students to
work outside of class almost every day, just like homework in other classes.
They will be doing the messy work at school, with clay, and then working on
reading assignments, sketching assignments, and other interactive assignments
on the computer. If you have any questions, see below.
Additional information can be
provided if you ever have any questions, comments, or concerns. I am available
for phone calls and meetings (by appointment please) each day before and after
school. To schedule a meeting, you can contact me via email at alexandriadelong24@gmail.com or
phone at (620) 555-1234.
I am excited about working with
your child with this Egyptian unit and the rest of the year!
Sincerely,
Miss Alexandria DeLong
Art Teacher
