Welcome back to our artists and scholars!
This week, we will be reflecting and writing about who we are as artists and where our school journey has taken us as scholars. Students will be expected to write a multi-paragraph narrative essay which expresses their learning journey thus far into their lives and the artists they aspire to be. In this case, we are using the word artist as someone who does something well and with passion. After completing the narrative essay, students will be grading themselves based on a student-created rubric as well as demonstrating their art in the classroom. I look forward to the students being able to express themselves creatively as well as grow in their writing and art capabilities this year. Most of them are already expressing and interest in the art history we've done this year.
I have uploaded all this week's assignments to the moodle, but just in case you have not received login-information, I have also pasted a link to a google doc in the assignments page of this blog.
If you have any questions, feel free to email me. Have a wonderful week and I look forward to seeing you all soon!

Welcome to Middle School!
Welcome middle school students and families to Otay Ranch Academy for the Arts. I am thrilled to be a part of the staff this year because I get to learn and grow with all of you. I have been an educator for the past 16 years and teaching English and Art are passions of mine.
I will be using this blog as a way for students and families to stay current with our in-and out of class activities. I've also listed some resources for families that have to with Art and Education in our community. I will be posting a new letter with lesson plans weekly and updates in pictures and resources as I hear about them.
Thank you for your partnership this year as we begin our lifelong journey to of scholarly passion, self expression, and creativity!
I hope to see you soon, Mrs. K
