Announcing Move - to Distance Learning blog

Hi
As we scramble to set up for distance learning, one of the puzzles is to figure out is the best way to serve our K-5 students at Capitol Hill.

For now- I think the best way to share lessons and be easily accessed, is to have a new blog (connected only to my PPS account) - dedicated to Distance Learning assignments.

https://distance-art-ch.blogspot.com/

Please bookmark this link.

I will be adding grade level pages as needed.

• For now all K-2 will be on the NEW site (distance-art-ch...).
• Grades 3-5 may continue on the NEW site (distance-art-ch...) AND I will start posting on their     google-classroom accounts soon.

We- teachers are trying to figure out what works BEST FOR STUDENTS.

Going forward - ALL new assignments will be added to the new page

Update for Capitol Hill students

Hi Everyone-

Wow, I am learning new stuff hard and fast on - SeeSaw and Google Classroom. 
BUT...
until I figure out how the classes are going to be grouped -  
it is best to continue to use this blog site for Art Lessons- instruction. At least until notified.

So please save this link.

My plan is to have a lesson posted for students to work on next week. It will be up by Monday morning.

While I know not every household has art supplies, my goal is to come up with lessons that invite the use of different materials.
I have made inquiries with the district about some supply packet purchasing discounts - (while I am hoping to hear back from them today - they are busy)
but 
1. I don't expect families to put out more money on supplies.
2. Supplies are not required to be successful !

Now would be the time for the kids to have a scavenger hunt around their home to see what supplies you already own.
Look for:
pencils, paper, markers, glue, tape, scissors, color pencils, sidewalk chalk - that kind of stuff- 

When you collect supplies, find a place to put them all together - so you are ready to get working on Monday. You know even a paper grocery bag would be fine for keeping it all together. 

And if your parents are worried about "art mess"- no problem. Take another grocery bag and cut it open, lay it flat for a "place-mat" to protect your table or wherever you are working. Save the place-mat and reuse it.

All Right! You are ready for action.

Please remember -PAPER AND PENCILS (pens) - WILL BE ENOUGH - and all lessons will work with whatever you can find.

I'm excited - we are going to be creative, inventive and have some FUN.
Ms. H.
