Stop, Block & Tell #stopcyberbullying

Our friend Parry Aftab was looking for some artwork. Stop, Block and Tell is the motto she is teaching Canadian students in regards to online safety. Wee Picasso and I designed this concept (she has attended a summit on this topic and a meeting with our local gov't officials.) then she executed it in paint. She choose the mean words to write under the "block" section.

Remembrance Day - 2012

I have been into Wee Picasso’s grade one class twice now to teach art. It has been a great time to meet the students and to offer some creative lessons to those who may not have a chance at home. This past month we worked on drawing the symbols of Remembrance day. We drew poppies and maple leafs. Then the class went on to make their posters for the Annual Royal Canadian Legion contest.

I recently found out the Wee Picasso’s poster placed locally. In fact 3 of the 4 winners were all grade one students. Their category was K-3. The kids were very pleased to be recognized, tomorrow they will attend the local Remembrance Day service and after see their posters along with the others. I was very impressed with the work of her class. Some of the kids even stayed in over recess to finish up their posters. Looking forward to next month’s lesson!
