Greetings from Mrs. Cocagne!! I miss you all and hope you are all staying healthy and safe!! ❤
Weeks ago I had changed out the bulletin board with new beautiful art work in hopes that we would be returning to see the awesome job 5th grade had done on their latest art project. I had no idea it would be their last project with me. So in honor of these wonderful students graduating on to the middle school next year I would love to share their zentangle watercolor salt wash projects. 💚 Mrs. Hadowsky
