Doodle 4 Google

I have wanted to participate in Google's contest allowing K-12th grade students to design a Google Doodle for a few years now. This year I was able to fit the contest with our 3-5th grade art standards and our art journaling endeavor. This included an artist's statement (maximum of 50 words) to be written on the permission slip.

With our administrations blessing I advertised and introduced the contest to students. I sent home one permission slip with our schools address and phone number already on them. I gave the students 2-3 class periods to work on their entry. (Those who got 3 weeks did so because of an unexpected absence on my part.) I explained that everyone would get a grade on the work they had submitted in class, but I would only mail in entries for actual contest submission if I had a completed permission slip and completed work by Friday, March 15, 2013. Anyone else could get mom and dad to submit their work if they still wanted to enter the contest. About 10% of our 3-5th grade students submissions were mailed in yesterday.

I have not shared the artist statements, but I do want to share the student's titled drawings. I look forward to voting on the submissions that Google choose for the next stage of this contest.

Might a winning entry come from BGE?
