It's Winter in the Art Room!
Almost every grade level is having fun with some winter themed art. TK tore up paper and glued the little pieces to make the head of a snow person. Kindergarten went wild with buttons and fabric, yarn and more to create mixed-media snow kids. 1st graders are making collage snow globes (not pictured) 2nd graders made polar bears and cardinals. 3rd graders drew winter villages (not pictured). 4th graders cut out and gel printed snowflakes to make collage artworks.

REMINDERS
Dear Emerson Parents,
As mentioned at the December All School Meeting, we would appreciate your help with electronic devices in the classroom.
According to the Grade TK - 12 Berkeley Unified School District policy all electronic devices (cell phones, apple/smart watches) should be turned off during school hours.
They are also brought to school at your own risk (meaning we can not replace lost/ stolen devices).
With the holidays upon us, please keep in mind that cell phones and apple/smart watches are discouraged during school hours.
Thank you, Principal Holmes
