Art Class at CES Learning to draw and think creatively helps prepare students for the future! The truth is that learning to paint, create a website, or design an energy-efficient home requires mastering skills which are often invisible to the naked eye, but are developed through a strong visual arts education. We have begun a new initiative through PBIS (Positive Behavior Instructional Strategies). All specialists will be tracking behaviors in order for classes to earn a reward of their choosing. In art classes I will be looking to see if students meet behavioral expectations such as talking quietly, staying seated and on task, raising hands to speak and treating each other kindly. All of these expectations fall under the simple idea of "respect". Thank you, in advance, for your support of this goal. Another successful Curriculum Fair!
