This time of year, students in Pre-K through seventh grade work on bookmaking projects in collaboration with our artist in residence, Mrs. Paula Krieg. Mrs. Krieg was able to share her wisdom and skills with our students again this year! Mrs. Krieg spent six days at the school working with students primarily during library time and also in their classrooms. The projects ranged from simple journals to complex pop-up books and kaleidocycles The students’ books turned out beautifully, and I’m already looking forward to her visit next year. The work done in these sessions is very creative and the outcome is always something our students can be proud of. The really exciting part is that bookmaking is more than just creating art. Each year students and teachers look forward to her visit. Many of the students have made books with Mrs. Krieg since they were in Pre-K. It is a fantastic experience for the students and we are very fortunate to have this ongoing partnership with Mrs. Krieg. The students’ books turned out beautifully, and we’re already looking forward to her visit next year.
