Jackie Robinson

Happy Birthday Jackie, one of my hero's. I will be reading a book about him either today or on Friday. But this reminds me, the students are supposed to be working on projects that stretch their knowledge. First of all this would be a good person to look up and find out more information about his importance in history.

Second, we will do this during art sometime in February.

Kevin is on holidays with his parents, but things seem to have taken a curious turn back home at his school. 
What are Kevin’s classmates trying to tell him?

Art Week

This all happened because we read the story for the week called "What Do Illustrators Do?" Here is another artist that I have fallen in love with, at first glance it looks like Paper 3D, but I'll let you decide (I believe it was something besides paper).

Whoops!, This first one is in 3D, here is the normal clip:
