Here at Gloria Deo, art is a vital part of the educational process. Our Art Room inccoperates multicultural lessons, career driven projects, and self-motivational activities. My goal in teaching is to promote responsible individuality, respect for one’s self and society, and a desire to persevere through all obstacles. This philosophy can be used in faith, marriage, parenting and just life in general. This blog will be dedicated to all of the above. <>< Mrs. Herren

4th 3-D Shoes

One 4th grade class is working on building fully function shoes using papier-mâché and paper strips. It's a challenge, but they are persevering through it. We’re only in the beginning stages, but the students are already discovering it’s tougher than it looks. The objective is to create a REAL shoe. They will be graded on the durability of their shoe by wearing their creation and walking down the hallway and back without the shoe falling apart.

Igloo Update

The all-school Igloo is coming along.  My guess is we need about 150 more milk jugs!
