First Blog Post:-)

Ladies and Gentlemen! Here we go! This will hopefully be a very helpful addition to the art program. Here I will "BLOG" information, lessons, reminders for the art program at North Ridge Elementary! I have consistently had issues with sending and receiving emails through the old email so I have created a new email and this blog.

Please refer to this blog for updates, and feel free to email me at the new email: NREArtInfo@gmail.com

I will post each week with lessons and links as well as printing the lessons out and placing them in the drawers of the art room on Friday's. Old lessons are loose in the drawers and new lessons are in the folders, each grade level has its own drawer.

Hopefully this will be a more effective form of communication!
