Dear Parents/Guardians,  

My name is Emanuele Iosue and I will be your child's technology and art teacher.  As an alumnus of St. Rose, I know firsthand what a wonderful place this is to be a student.  We are going to learn so much this year!  You can find more information about what we will be learning on the curriculum tab of this site.  

We have so much new technology that we have moved into our brand new Media Center, formally known as the library.  This year we will be using green screens and cameras to create movies.  Students will all be introduced to coding, where they will use robots that are told how to move by the students.  Students will also learn how to use the technology that fills the workplace in the modern age, such as Microsoft Office, Google, and other online programs.  Students in the upper grades will be introduced to using the internet in a safe way.  We will also learn about movie making 3D printing, and so much more!

Throughout the year, I plan on exposing our students to a wide range of different artists, art styles and art mediums.  I will encourage them to talk intelligently about art and see the beauty in the world around them.  They will learn how to use the elements of art and the principles of design.  They will also learn about how art has evolved throughout history and explore multicultural arts and crafts.  In anticipation of having an art show in the spring, I will be keeping much of your student's artwork at school to be displayed.  I will be sending their work home at the end of the school year for your enjoyment.

I will be opening Google classrooms for students in grades 3-8.  You can find more information about Google classroom in the Google classroom section of this webpage.  The access codes will be distributed to students during the first week of class. Please contact me for the list and I will send via email.

Please feel free to contact me with absolutely any questions or concerns you may have, you can email me at eiosue@stroseoflima.com.

Best Regards,

Mr. Iosue
