Today I had my final "first day" with 1st grade. Back to school in a special that meets a different grade every day, means 5 first days of Art for me! I don't mind, but I'm sooo excited to start diving into projects now with all of my groups.
I spent time with all my grades reviewing our "Artist Rules", which can be find here on my website, and taking care of the Art room and our supplies. That is huge. It's important for students to remember that 1. they share the Art room and supplies with all of the Primary and Elementary schools, and 2. if they stay at Big Hollow through 4th grade, this will be their art room every year. I'm hoping this review, and also incorporating new "Art Room Jobs", will help instill a better sense of responsibility in students when they're in their art room.
I excited now to start our first projects! Like last year, they are inspired by our summer reading theme and the awesome decorations the teachers and staff did around both buildings. I'm looking forward to K - 4th adding some space themed art to the hallways! Stay tuned!
