Anyone that has a piece going to the Scholastic art show needs to make a point to help out with mounting artworks. I will be mounting after school on Tuesday and Wednesday after school till 5:00. I need help so if you have a piece going to the show you must show up to help me after school 1 of these days. It approximately takes 15 minutes to mount 1 piece depending on the size.

Check my list and see if you have a piece going into the show. If I missed a piece that you think is good and should be submitted please show me by Tuesday so that I can consider it.

Let's take a look at a few Children's books that were successfully turned into movies. Usually there is a twist to the original or more added to what already existed. Don't be afraid to add to your movie. It will make it more interesting for us as your viewers. I LIKE TO SEE CREATIVITY THAT YOU COME UP WITH ON YOUR OWN!

Hansel & Gretel

Let's read the book and take a look at the trailer together.
