@HighfillJoan #385edchat Agreed Joan! There's a lot we can learn from each other both inside our district and outside of it. Being connected absolutely does benefit our students!

[Jamie Lynn Clark @mrsclarksart]

@mrsfacs #385edchat I like the ability to chat with others in the district also. I also am happy to have made contacts outside the district that have choice-based art classrooms.

@MrsMacsfirsties #385edchat Same here, Nicole. I have gained confidence using Twitter. This 5 weeks went fast!

[Jamie Lynn Clark @mrsclarksart]

A5: #385edchat The more teachers in our district that are on Twitter, the more PLC can happen between schools/teachers. Ideas can be shared, problem solving can happen, questions can be answered from our colleagues in different schools. Lots of learning can happen.

[Jamie Lynn Clark @mrsclarksart]

@mrsfacs I agree! I think virtual field trips in the art room would also be a blast!

@hickskinders I love watching you and your early childhood team teach with such creativity. Love the zebra brownie snack!

@MrsReynoldsPreK Carla, I've seen your creative centers as I "push in" to your classroom for art. I love your creative ideas and the excitement I see in your students.

A4: #385edchat I love the "surprise and delight" idea. The donuts in the video made me think of the artist Wayne Thiebaud who paints food. What fun to surprise my young artists with food items like donuts to draw/paint from observation!

[Jamie Lynn Clark @mrsclarksart]

@MrsReynoldsPreK @kelly_helmer #385edchat Same here!!

[Jamie Lynn Clark @mrsclarksart]

@MrsReynoldsPreK @MrsMacsfirsties #385edchat I totally agree! I think it is also great to see teachers and students in action at different grade levels. So much to see and learn from each other.

[Jamie Lynn Clark @mrsclarksart]

@MrsMacsfirsties I think purposeful feedback that is not meant for evaluation and is informal would be very helpful indeed. I also get good feedback from instructional aides and paras. They're a good resource, too. #385edchat

[Jamie Lynn Clark @mrsclarksart]

@hickskinders #385edchat I agree with you Erica. I do appreciate getting ideas and support from other teachers in our building. I love gleaning new ideas I can use in the art room from my regular classroom colleagues. Great stuff all around!

[Jamie Lynn Clark @mrsclarksart]

A3: #385edchat Having an open classroom concept monthly or weekly would be beneficial for building rapport with students and colleagues. It would also allow me to see what is going on in the regular ed classrooms giving me ideas for collaboration and cross-curricular planning.

[Jamie Lynn Clark @mrsclarksart]

A2: #385edchat I'm excited to see what comes from this educational redesign initiative. I really liked reading that kindergarten readiness and preschool is part of the discussion. I'm curious to see how multi-aged groups will function.

[Jamie Lynn Clark @mrsclarksart]

@hickskinders #385edchat Erica, I TOTALLY agree with you regarding meeting the developmental needs of our younger students. I'm excited we won't have to stop with our younger students, but consider the developmental needs of each student.

[Jamie Lynn Clark @mrsclarksart]

@MrsMacsfirsties #385edchat I agree that students definitely would benefit and I think there needs to be a paradigm shift to educate the whole child and meet the needs of our students in our culture today.

[Jamie Lynn Clark @mrsclarksart]

@hallyford27 #385edchat I also like the idea of giving students voice & choice. It's awesome watching them work when given the chance to choose.

[Jamie Lynn Clark @mrsclarksart]

@MrsReynoldsPreK #385edchat Carla I was also very excited to see some emphasis placed on kindergarten readiness and preschool learning opportunities. Our state has needed this for years and Andover is definitely working in these areas.

[Jamie Lynn Clark @mrsclarksart]

A1 #385edchat I would like to try the Snow Storm exit strategy. It would get writing & a little movement into the class time. I also like High-5 Hustle (incorporates music) & Cover It

Love watching my PK illustrators hard at work creating Eric Carle inspired masterpieces.
