The final step was to write the words to describe our marvelous school over the top of the buildings.

Happy First Day of School!

Hi All,

I am looking forward to my first year at Stratmoor Hills Elementary! I've got some awesome lessons planned for the kiddos and can't wait to get started!

5th grade will be starting the year with a lesson on cubism using oil pastels.
4th grade is going to study impressionism and testing their gluing skills.
3rd grade will be working on learning the elements of art through famous abstract masterpieces.
2nd grade will be creating beautiful landscapes that show the element of value.
1st grade starts their year off learning the elements of art through a self portrait.
Kindergarten, hope you are ready to learn your shapes and primary colors!

Looking forward to meeting all of my new students and getting to know your families,
Miss Winthrop
