Monday

I am not sure what next week looks like for us art teachers. We will be having some staff training with the classroom teachers about online teaching tools beginning today, through CH. 

As art teachers we have yet to hear from our Art TOSA within the District. They are the ones tasked with guiding us and advocating for arts programs in the schools. 
I hear some information is coming by Friday.

Regardless - I want to keep teaching and have connected with the CH teachers to link up to their resource pages. 

SO - I do have some bigger ideas for projects but am not going to share them until students are ready to engage in online school. When is that time?
We are in a funny limbo - this is not a criticism of the kids, this is waiting for the focused routine directives from the District to us and families. 

Remember-you will find 11 new activity/learning assignments posted on this page since March 16th. 
Feel free to scroll back and choose to do some other offerings; you are not limited to the most recent one.

In the meantime - here is one more Mo Willems video related to making a board game and playing it remotely with a friend.



Spoiler alert - I do think creating a board game is an engaging assignment we will attempt and look forward to leading or prompting you through it.
If you design a board game now - you will not ruin the project for yourself, you will just be ahead of the other kids in how you think and plan. 
 
Here is a link to some artist designed board games you might like to browse.They are a pretty nerdy-creative bunch...ahhhh my FAVORITE kind of people!
