Thank you to all the students and their parents for attending the Art Show opening reception . The demonstrators were so excited to show others how to crochet. They were passing necklaces to all the kids attending the art show. A big thank you goes to Mr. Abu-Rus, Mrs. Sleiman and Mrs. Elkadri who came and supported the students. Make sure to visit the gallery at the Performing Arts Center to see the wonderful art works displayed there by our Art students from Dearborn Public Schools. The Art Show will last for a month.
5th graders will be learning about the artist Escher and his tessellations in order to inspire them to create their own.
Art Club students who are selected to demonstrate during the Art show reception opening on 4/13/2016 can use this video to help them practice how to crochet.
This year, we have ten artists selected to represent Miller school at the City Wide Art Show Festival. The opening reception will be this coming Wednesday from 4:00 to 5:30. Make sure to take the time to visit the Ford Community & Performing Arts center in Dearborn to see the artworks of our talented Miller artists. The artworks will be displayed there for a month.
Congratulations to all selected Miller artists!
During the art show reception opening, we will have two tables for Miller students demonstrators to share with others the art of crochet and shell painting. Selected students need a parent to stay with them during the demonstration from 4:30 to 5:30 and 6:30 to 7:30.
The 4th graders are learning about the Russian Dolls.
Last Week, students wrote what they know about Russian Dolls in the RAN chart.
Ms.DiMeria, our Miller speech therapist, was our guest speaker this week. She shared her knowledge about the Russian culture and specifically about the Russian dolls. She showed the students different sets of nesting dolls that she bought as souvenirs from Russia. Kids learned where Russia is on the map and learned Russian greetings.
I showed the students a slide show of different sets of Russian dolls and some facts about them.
The students had to review what they put in the RAN chart and move the information to the right column. Also, they were encouraged to add new facts.

Papier Maché Masks:
5th graders are learning about cultural masks. After watching a power point presentation about cultural masks, students started to have an idea how each culture has a specific way and purpose for creating masks. This will help the students to imagine how they would like their mask to look like. Students are asked to research and pick one mask to make one in the same style with paper maché. They used chrome books to search, find, and save the photo of the cultural mask to their drive. This will allow to look at it even from home to see what kind of details they need to work on when they come to the art room,
Students are searching for cultural masks.
February, 2016
This week, The students started to work on putting the papier maché over the mold that would work well for their chosen cultural mask.
Some students had to use a plastic gallon jug of milk as a mold for their mask.
