I will be at school all week. Hope to see you there, if I haven't already. If you are a 6th Grader or informed Kathy Donder that you are moving schools you will get your artwork in a brown paper bag. If you are returning to Fox Creek next year I will hand back all of your artwork when we return.

Keep being creative this summer! Feel free to send pictures or emails. I love hearing from you!

For those of you who have been checking my blog since the beginning of remote learning, I appreciate you so much! Thank you. You also know that I started working on folding 1000 paper cranes. So far I have 700 strung. Each strand in the picture below is 100 cranes.
