HELLO! WELCOME to ArtWithKorb.com. If you want to ALWAYS SEE what is happening the SUNDAY before it happens – SUBSCRIBE.

Welcome to Ms. Ava Sandersen from UW-Milwaukee. She will be joining us as our student teacher at Forest Park Middle School for some time now. WELCOME! It is going to be GREAT to have you here.

One more week! Before I begin… HERE is a link to the new STANDARDS BASED RUBRICS that the 7th graders REBUILT. The original was fine and written lovely for a teacher – NOW the kids had a hand in it and the standards are things they can check off and see that they have met the baseline for the standards. I would LOVE to hear your feedback! I am SO PROUD of the kids. The 8th graders did the same for their rubrics… this is just one of the examples.
