Lincoln Meadows

Elementary Art Curriculum (K-5)

Hello! I am Ms. Montgomery and I am the elementary art teacher at American Academy Lincoln Meadows and will be starting my 5th year of teaching and 4th year here. I am excited to share this year and explore creativity with everyone. This will be a fun year of gaining confidence, learning technical skills and developing our own style through the use of our elements of art and principles of design. 
 
A little about me, I am originally from Ohio but have lived in Colorado for 10 years! I have one tuxedo cat named Chase. I am a vegetarian of 10 years. I like photography, eating sweets, watching rom-coms and reading fantasy novels! 
Missing/Incomplete work notification? 
No worries! This just means your student either didn't complete the assignment during their week, forgot to put their name on their art, or accidently took it home too early. 
What do I need to do as a parent?
Nothing! Ms. Montgomery will handle everything on her end, to make sure the art gets completed and sent home. 
I schedule a time with their homeroom teacher on specific days in the week to have their class come down and work on their art in the mornings. 
The mornings allow me 15 minutes of time, so sometimes I will need to schedule multiple days. 
Please allow me time and patience as I work to schedule make-up time! 
Projects:

Our next project is two parts, the first is glazing our clay pinch pot - and learning about glazing. The second is making a warm and cool snail, learning our warm and cool colors.  K

I will be using Artsonia this year to document student work and allow parents a sure way of seeing their students masterpieces! You will receive an email once their artwork is uploaded after each assignment. You will then have the chance to leave a comment, share it, and also order merch with the image on it- and a good percentage of those proceeds go towards my classroom budget, so your support is greatly appreciated!
