Materials
Can I take some art materials from the classroom?
Please ask for permission to borrow materials.

BLACK trash can - NOT recycling!
Focus and Respect: Classmates
During class discussion, we raise our hands to speak. No calling out, no interrupting others when it’s their turn to speak.
Damage to Artwork or Sketchbook
You are responsible for your own work! Unintentional rip or smudges will affect your grade.
If you have too many books in your bag, your sketchbook cover or the spiral binding may tear.
What should I do if I'm stuck on a project and need help? What shouldn't I do?
Raise your hand!
Do NOT call out 'Ms. Kim! Ms. Kim!'
If you can, work on another area in the meantime until I come over.
How should clean up be?
Clean up should be efficient and silent.
Look around your feet: Is there anything you can pick up and throw away?
We're playing Jeopardy in class and I shout out because I'm excited! What happens?
You will receive a warning!
We will project our voices while speaking, but it is never appropriate to shout or scream.
My friend from across the table is asking me for an eraser. Should I throw it to them?
NO! Throwing is not allowed in the classroom.
If you need any materials, ask me.
I finished my work as quick as possible. What should I do?

If you are done, you may work on art homework or an early finisher.

How long should I spend on my art homework?
I'm an excellent judge of how long you spend on your HW! Don't cheat yourself.

Getting Up
