We were busy during ISAT testing week!  Back in March, I took these photos of work our students did over the course of standardized testing week.  To ensure the hallways were quiet for those testing, I travelled from classroom to classroom with my art supplies to teach art.  It just so happened that testing week was the same week as Dr. Seuss's birthday!  We did read-alouds all week, and the students analyzed the colors, images and patterns in his illustrations.  We learned about how Dr. Seuss's illustrations help to tell his famous stories.  These examples are some samples of strong work, but there were many other creative ideas that came out of this week.  I got lots of drawing from the kids that they had done at home, so I feel like they really enjoyed it.
