2. Decorate the outside with a book theme (character, book cover, series, etc.). Be creative (but appropriate for school!)
4. Include your NAME, GRADE, and TEACHER on the bottom of the box.
5. Bring it to the library October 24-26.
Three winners from each grade level will receive a Book Fair gift card!
Tissue boxes will be kept at the school to use throughout the year. Questions? Email Ms. Ussery at bussery@artsk12.org.

The K6 campus is utilizing our Arts-Based Skills and Strategies (ABSS)! Kindergarten used the Torn Art strategy to practice spelling their names and Mrs. Schuster’s 2nd grade theatre students used the Tableau strategy to learn stage directions and levels while demonstrating knowledge of story settings.
ABSS are grounded in the Artful Learning Model, honor the Multiple Intelligences, and touch all three domains of Bloom’s Taxonomy. Importantly, they are also fun! They are designed to move away from teacher-directed instruction towards self-instruction; an authentic learning “leap” from being told something is relevant to discovering the relevance for oneself. More information can be found at artfullearning.org.
