"Love Does" in the art room






First Graders started the year creating some hallway art to help us get to know our school theme this year "Love Does." We learned about Jim Dine's art and then created hearts using warm and cool colors with oil pastels.  

This year I will be looking out for students who are showing love to others in the art room.  This might be a student who takes extra care in cleaning up around their chair, or a student who found a scissors in the trash and pulled it out and put it away.  This week I saw one student stop and help another who was having trouble cut out his project. "Here, let me help you!" he said! Anther took time to wipe the chalk from someones face, and still another washed extra trays filled with paint that someone dumped in the sink. I love this heart art collage because when I see students showing love to each other it makes my heart swell!  They are getting it!    




Your glorious cause, O God
Engages our hearts
May Jesus Christ be known
Wherever we are
We ask not for ourselves, but for Your renown
The cross has saved us so we pray
Your kingdom come

Let Your kingdom come
Let Your will be done
So that everyone might know Your Name
Let Your song be heard everywhere on earth
Till Your sovereign work on earth is done
Let Your kingdom come

Give us Your strength, O God
And courage to speak
Perform Your wondrous deeds
Through those who are weak
Lord use us as You want, whatever the test
By grace we’ll preach Your gospel
Till our dying breath
