Hi!!!! A5: Taking risks is uncomfortable, and Is rarely done right the first time. But I must dare to fail or I will wither away. ❤️ #DSISDchat

An awesome vertical alignment art teacher PD today! We visited a local artists’ studio, Mrs.Lyczak taught us small book binding, and lesson alignment discussions. #artteachershaveallthefun @kathlenemariestudio #IamDSISD #thomaslovesart1

We did it! 8 pieces entered into jr VASE AND ALL 8 got a 4 ranking (out of 1-4, the best) and two got the top 10% platinum award!!!! #IamDSISD #wearedsms #thomaslovesart1 #jrvase #1styear

I can’t tell you how proud I am of this girl. My student created characters last year and this year has made books. One of which she made a book display for and bookmarks. What an imagination. Jr VASE BOUND! Wish us luck. #thomaslovesart1 #jrvase #IamDSISD #wearedsms
