Later this week I will queue up some posts about the two units I taught this past semester! One was a mixed media fall setting unit with third graders, the other was a postage stamp inspired relief printing unit with 7th/8th graders! Both were great experiences. All of the artwork turned out great! Expect more posts like these next semester when I start student teaching!
