Welcome to a new term!

Welcome to the art room for Term 2! I am looking forward to working with 1st and 2nd grade this term.

This is the 'Holiday Term' because it encompasses all of the Fall/Winter holidays within it. It makes this term feel longer than the others because of all the breaks in it, but it is really the same number of days in school as the other terms.
