Art with Ms. Ostafy

I am so excited this year to be teaching at Wilbur we well as Castle Hills! I will be teaching at Wilbur: Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday. I will be at Castle Hills on Thursdays. I look forward to a wonderful School year with so many new and exciting  projects for the students. Like always, I will also be collecting art throughout the year for our annual district art show that will be held in may. Thank you so much, and I look forward to a great year with the students!

Another great year has gone by so quickly! The art show was fantastic and a BIG thank you is due to the students and parents of Wilmington Manor and Pleasantville! Some sad news though is that I will not be back next year to either of these schools. I have been assigned to Wilbur Elementary for the 09-10 school year. So thanks for all of the good times, and I will be missing all of the students very much.

I personally cannot believe how fast this year is going, but something must be said for all of the hard work and skills that the students have been achieving in art class. If some of your child’s art has not come home it may be for either a hallway display, or I may be saving it for a possability for the art show coming up at the end of April. If your child’s art does make it into the art show you will be receiving notification before hand about the date and time. Happy Holidays to everyone, and keep up the good work!

This year I am located at two schools, Wilmington Manor and Pleasantville. The majority of the school year I will be doing the same projects at both schools, so if you see work posted it will be a result of both schools. I hope you have a great year, I look forward to it!!!

I recently participated in a “Walk for MS” at the riverfront, and I wanted to thank all of the teachers here and at Wrangle Hill for their support. All together we raised over $2,600!!! Thank You again for all of the support! Our team also got amazing shirts made from customink.com, they were fantastic!

The time has come already to start buying your yearbooks, they are $12.00 and flyers will be sent home shortly with your order form.  Buy a 2008 Pleasantville yearbook, so that you will never forget the memories.

Okay, so we made it through the holidays, and now we need to get back into the swing of things. Fifth Grade is working on a very exciting Latin American Project, which are turning out fantastic!(click the link above to see an image!) All of the other classes will be starting new projects for the third marking period. Lets hope it will be as successful as the last! Good luck, and keep working hard!

Happy Holidays Everyone. I hope you have a happy and safe winter break! We have been chugging along through December, and I can tell that the new year is going to bring many new and fun projects. Don’t forget to try your hardest, and maybe your artwork will make it into the art show in May!!! Keep up the good work!
