Vincent can Gecko!!! 🤯 Thanks @Colossal : )

So excited for all our @barrington220 5th graders to apply for this great opportunity. @BarbaraRose220 @220Arts @Blessman239 @AtteberrysClass @MrsMakro @HeatherSchuma1 @MrsSiddonsArt @DWalterArtEd1 @GarrettLuczak @MrRootArt

Vincent made 3 paintings of 'The Bedroom'. This one, in the collection of Musée d'Orsay, is the smallest: 57.3 x 73.5 cm. He made it for his mother, to show her where he lived. Our version is 72.4 x 91.3 cm, and the one at The Art Institute of Chicago is 73.6 x 92.3 cm. 💡

First time trying “quilling” with students (2nd graders pictures here) - inspired by @MarieBoydAuthor who is virtually visiting our .@GroveAve220 students in February! Thank you for the intro @MrsMoralesGrove and Ms. Boyd for the tutorial to make snails!

Indoor recess with @AHudson_NBCT ‘s first graders today. Taught this group “Go Fish”! .@GroveAve220 : )

A copy of one of the three of these bedroom paintings Van Gogh made hangs in our @GroveAve220 art room so she was very familiar with it. Amazing to see the size that it truly is compared to Kathleen standing beneath it! .@220Arts

Yesterday, Kathleen from @Mrs_Warnecke ‘s third grade class, who had just finished a unit focused on Van Gogh’s impressionist artwork, shared that over break she had gone with her family to the @artinstitutechi and hadn’t let them leave until they had tracked down this painting!

TOP-NOTCH E-learning stop motion submitted today from Charlotte in @JSiegelGR2 !!! .@GroveAve220 .@220Arts (sound on!)

Love an accidental #twinningtuesday in Mrs. .@AHudson_NBCT ‘s first grade class today. : ) .@GroveAve220

Love when kids’ t shirts spark unplanned lessons/discussion in the art room. @GroveAve220 @220Arts @KatieBlackowicz #basquiat

Each year our fine arts teachers select elementary student artwork to be showcased at the District Administrative Center. This evening we enjoyed welcoming the students and their families to see their beautiful work hanging around the office! #WeBelong220

Taking down our @GroveAve220 Art room “camera obscura” after showing this phenomenon to all classes over the last week! .@220Arts

The Grove Ave slopes were THE place to be on the K-ground today! Crazy long lift lines but totally worth it.

Missing .@MrsChangGrove ‘s fourth graders in the mornings but have loved joining .@TaraBBowden ‘s third graders this week! Highlights included analyzing a @nytimes photograph and designing “nifty” innovative glasses…

The fashion element of snowflake making was new to me this year…

@AHudson_NBCT Such a cool set-up/experience/pic!

This week we started new units in writing, reading, & social studies! We also had fun playing Passing the Wave in our Morning Meeting! We can get pretty creative. Thanks for joining us, @MrRootArt! ~Iman. #WeeklyStudentTweets #WeBelong220 @GroveAve220
