In the Art Room: A Glimpse Inside my First Day with 1st and 2nd
Ohhhh-whey! Don't mind me, it's just the second Monday of the new school year and I've already got my feet up and I'm surrounded by Getting to Know You Sculptures. Last week, I shared with you a video where I talked you thru what I do my first day with my 1st and 2nd graders for their first 30 minutes. Today I thought I'd share with you a video of myself with my kiddos to give you more of a visual. So, here you go! My very first art class with some of my very favorite people:
Now, if you need more explaining about my very first 30 minutes and why I do what I do, you can check out this lil clip:
I love seeing how other art teachers teach. I am loud, annoying and definitely not for everyone...but that's me. That's who I am and that's how I teach. I really think finding your voice in your classroom is the best way to be your best teacher. So while I like to share what works for me, it's by no means me saying that you should do it too. It's just an offering of ideas and a little peak inside. Y'all are always welcome to my art room! So pull up a chair, roll up your sleeves and...GO CLEAN SOMETHING for heaven's sake. This place is a PIT! All kidding aside...stay tuned...I've got more videos coming your way this week and a follow up to our sculpture lesson. Love y'all!
Cutting my paper scraps for "Getting to Know You Sculptures" right now. I have all K-5 kiddos for 50 minutes so this is a great way to start their year on day 2 (for grades 1 and 2). Have done versions of this paper sculpture many times before with 1st and 2nd graders and it is always a hit. I call it "the Ant Playground" and some years we have made ants to go along with it. I love the idea of doing it as a getting to know you paper sculpture!!!!
