We did it everyone! We are fully funded on both donors choose projects. We will have so many art supplies and reading material thanks to all our donors! Special thanks to Alyssa, Kaniesha (Sadie's mom), Nora (Derek's mom), Shawn and Emily (Alanah's family), Kendra (Olive's mom), Nicole (Makayla's mom), Tara (Sage's mom), some of my family, and several awesome donors that just wanted to help, Jane Young and Sally Robertson, as well as some anonymous help. I am so excited, and looking forward to all the fun we will have this year.

Thank you so much to those that have donated to our classroom projects on donors choose. We are a little over halfway there are BOTH of our projects I am am so excited! Here is the link to donate and share with anyone you can think of. I can't wait to give you all the art supplies and reading materials from these projects!
Hello my now third graders! I hope you all had a great summer!
I want to give a simple checklist of things to do before our first day of distance learning school, which is Monday, August 24.
Here is one last video for the year...a video tutorial on how to draw Franny K. Stein!Hi all,
This is a link to amazing art resources. They include video support, actual art lesson plans, and project ideas. Any of these activities can be traded for a packet of work if you create a Marco Polo video, spark video, written reflection, or photo story board/power point project to show your project and explain you process. Each art project counts for one packet of work IF YOU COMPLETE SOME SORT OF PRESENTATION/REFLECTION/SUBMISSION OF DOCUMENTATION. There are six different projects, so, if your student is feeling creative, that could be six packets of paperwork they don't have to complete. Just make sure to tell me what assignment you are trading the art project for. Have fun creating! https://www.artsintegration.net/createathome.html There is a very cool and free program that allows students to create presentations on any topic they choose. It would be awesome if parents/guardians would help kids use the adobe spark platform to send me a video of their students teaching me something they are an expert on. I am sharing my first adobe spark video about owls! Tomorrow, Wednesday, April 22, is a drop off day for any work that has been completed, and I do mean any amount, even if it is less than the pacing guide. Don't stress about it! Just turn it what is done. There will also be new bags to pick up, but these are project bags, NOT PAPER PACKETS. included are bugs cars, robots, watercolor paper/paint/beautiful brushes donated by Kendra, Olive's mom, and other fun things to do with your kids. I HIGHLY recommend you stagger the projects! I wholly admit to using projects as bribes to motivate work that is less hands on fun, but still needs to get done. I also don't have an endless supply of money for project materials, so staggering will be good so there will be projects to last through the year. As of right now, the important dates to know that we learned from our staff meeting at noon today: April 22: Drop off work April 30: Drop off and pick up new work May 8: Drop off work May 15: Drop off work May 22: Drop off and pick up new work More of a social site to keep our kids connected with friends. Available on all platforms, but requires a phone. I created a class group. I have no experimented with the program much, but I did talk with Mrs. Patton about it and it is recommended by many, so, as long as you have a phone, it could be a great option.
Zoom was a success, I believe, from the point of view that people could join and see and hear one another for the most part. During the morning meeting, there was four participant, versus the 12 we had in the afternoon. I think, going forward, Zoom will be a platform more for one on one intervention/assessment or small group lessons. I would be totally willing to host one meeting a week that is all about social, where all the kids can come on, see and talk to each other, and embrace the noise and energy. But, as a teaching/learning tool....not so much lol
