Celebrating Character at Camelview

The Phoenix Arts Commission and the Camelview PTO sponsored artist-in-residence, Kasha Banko, a professional mosiac tile artist. Ms. Banko instructed Camelview students and staff on the procedures and processes necessary to construct a mosaic mural.
This project not only enhances Camelview's art curriculum, but also will be a school-wide, yearlong celebration of character education. It directly teaches to the Arizona State Arts Standards allowing students to learn to handle art materials and tools responsibly, how to incorporate symbols into artwork and how to convey meaning of and feelings about their subject matter using a unique medium.
Using clay as a medium, students created a tile to represent their personal interpretation of their grade level character trait in alignment with our school character education program. Kindergarten - "Caring"; 1st grade - "Responsibility"; 2nd grade - "Trustworthiness"; and 3rd grade - "Citizenship". Also, student tiles reflecting the traditional pattern of different cultures were made by a smaller core group of students.
The mosaic mural was unveiled at a special celebration on February 10th. Photos

R.E.A.D. Reading Education Assistance Dogs - Camelview partners with two wonderful golden retrievers, Jake and Olsen, and their owners (Kim and Linda) to provide a unique reading opportunity for our students. Jake and Olsen are registered therapy animals who serve as reading companions for children. Jake and Olsen are great listeners! Their presence creates an inviting and motivating environment, where reading learners can proudly prove their reading skills to a non-judgement, four-legged friend!
