It was a really fun art activity thanks to our wonderful PTA and our parent volunteers! I had so many students walk up to me thanking me for planning it and told me how much fun they had. They want to do it again next year ๐! @FLBulldogs
Thank you so much to all of our amazing staff and PTA parents for helping out! Special thanks to @MissBertoncin, Miss LaGruth and Miss Daugherty for being right there with me! @FLECCPTA@FLBulldogs
What happens when you give students a voice. We have games based on fortune 500 logos, designing our own robots, wildlife art and experimenting with color mixing. All collaborating, all celebrating each otherโs ideas, all in the same room all the same time. @FLBulldogs
Not much time to post bcuz weโve been so busy in the studio! Dragon Eyes, Mini-Masterpieces, Haunted Houses, and Spooky Silhouettes are all on display for our families to enjoy during conferences, plus our 1st round of ceramics coming out of the kiln! WHEW๐
Sometimes we teachers kind of stumble onto things, and then the kids take it to all new all kinds of new levels. New favorite in the art studio: using the collage center to make hand puppets! I am sensing a language arts connection to creating new characters ๐.
@Culture_Crit Without pretension? The Historian by Elizabeth Kostova. Itโs a sleeper, but probably one of the best stories Iโve ever read (and Iโve read most of the others on this list).
With pretension? The Once and Future King by TH White.
Observational drawing happening on an organic level in the studio. If given the chance, buying in to real world experience becomes the norm. #thechildistheartist
