Extra Credit

The moment you have all been waiting for is here: Extra credit time. 
African Yohure Mask
Second and third grade students, if you are interested in fixing one of your grade book blunders click here to choose a mask to describe in one paragraph. This must be turned in on loose leaf paper.

Fourth and fifth grade students, you have several options. If you wish to do some drawing to pull your grade up go to my OP ART pinterest board by clicking here. Chose one of the pins (tutorials) to do on a blank piece of paper (not loose leaf).
