1 week to go!

The classroom is almost student ready and I am so excited to start another great choice based art year in Visual Art. New to the room this year will be 3 new centres for grades 4-6. They will be the Fibre arts centre, bookmaking/card making centre, and the puppet centre. I look forward to introducing these centres as they are built. Also new will be a "flipped classroom" style of learning incentive for grade 6. This blog will contain a video link or information students can access before learning about it in the classroom. Those who choose to follow the blog and complete the activities posted will earn extra DoJo points plus be able to skip 5 minute lesson to get straight to work on projects. All they have to do is fill,out the exit slip that would be required at the end of the 5 minute lesson, have it checked by me and they may continue. It is a great advantage to those who would like to Gain as much class time as possible for project work and still understand the concept being demonstrated.
Tomorrow I hope to post pictures of the 2015/16 art room.
