Attitude and Effort are 2 words that I repeat a lot in the ART room! When we talk about attitude to kids, it's usually in a negative way. "You have an attitude" is something that people might say. Kids think that attitude is a bad thing, but I let them know it is simply the way you act! So we can have a GOOD ATTITUDE! In ART class I will be asking students to try something new, and the first time we try something, we are probably not the best at it. When I rode a bike for the first time, I fell over. I tried again, because I liked it. Good attitudes are important in life (and art class)!! Some tasks come very easily to some, but most of us have to WORK HARD to get what we want! This is when putting forth EFFORT in class is very important. The harder we try at something, the better we will be, and more importantly, the more we learn! We are going to try hard in ART CLASS. Sometimes things might not turn out as we had expected, and that is when having a good attitude will be helpful to us all! Welcome to Lowell Elementary ART CLASS!
