HIGHLIGHTS OF THE FIRST QUARTER 2018!!!
The first quarter I am focusing on practicing reflection with my students. I find it to be a powerful tool in my own personal growth as a teacher and as an artist. My middle school students use reflection when making art. They create a tree or a sandwich as a metaphor for self. My 4th and 5th graders are creating symbols to represent themselves and are cutting them out of vinyl. Their symbols are on both of my doors in my classroom. At the beginning of the year I asked teachers to illustrate what they hope our students feel throughout the year and to create a visual to be posted at the entrance near the front office.
