This past week's after school art class was great! We were able to get two art projects done in the allotted time and some children had a few minutes to sketch. Both of these projects are fun and colorful and easy to do. I've done them with preschoolers up through fourth graders and everyone seems to enjoy it! This time, I was able to show the children artwork from each artist and link the lessons to children's books about the artists. If you haven't checked out these books, please do! The first project is: Handy Andy's inspired by the blog Artolazzi. For this project, I shared the book: "Uncle Andy's," by James Warhola. What a lovely book! This is written by a nephew of Andy Warhol and is told from the child's perspective. James Warhola talks about visiting his Uncle Andy at his studio and all of the interesting projects and people he sees there. I really like this book. It is interesting to look at the illustrations and see all of the fun details. The book also reminds me that children are like little sponges, soaking up info and inspiration from their environments. Warhola speaks about how inspiring it was to be surrounded by all of the art objects and artwork in his Uncle Andy's studio and being able to see the process his Uncle went through to create his art (note: I brought in one of the Marilyn Monroe series of paintings for the children to view--it had repetition and color that I wanted to highlight with the project below). Handy Andys I saw this project on the blog: Artolazzi and loved it. I changed it a bit to use bright papers instead of paint for the backgrounds to speed things up a bit. I used a bright pad of paper I bought at the local copy store (Staples) which was 50 sheets of 11" x 14" paper (5 bright colors) for about $5. Supplies Needed: 1 sheet of bright paper 11" x 14" for the background 2 5.5"x 7" rectangles of bright paper (different colors than your background) 4 5.5"x 7" rectangles of bright paper (assorted brights so that the hands cut from these papers are different than the backgrounds) Pencil Scissors Glue stick Black tempera paint Paper plate for palette Directions: 1. I had the students select one 11" x 14" piece of bright paper for their background. In the above image, my background piece is yellow. 2. I then had them select two rectangles (5.5" x 7" each) these needed to be different than their background paper. These were glued down to the background so that it appeared the background is divided into four sections. Use the photo as a guide. In my example, I used a blue and a green rectangle. 3. I then handed out stacks of four rectangles (each 5.5" x 7") of assorted colors that had been stapled together. I had the students trace their hands onto the stack and cut through all four at once with their scissors to create four identical hand shapes. Remove the staples, arrange onto the background and glue down using the glue stick. Glue the fingers down well so they don't curl off of the page. 4. Once everything was glued down well, I had the students come over to the printing station where they could dip their hands into the black tempera I had placed in foam plates and then print onto their backgrounds over each of the hand prints. They came out great! The children had lots of fun with these and the bright colors really created an eye-popping display! These would be so nice for Mother's Day or Father's Day and they didn't take any time at all (maybe 30 minutes from start to finish). Coming soon: Part two of this post...15 minute Jackson Pollock paintings!

Today marks the first Monday in June which means that school will be finishing up in just a few short weeks! While many teachers around here are eagerly anticipating these last few weeks so they can finish up their year and begin their summer holidays, I am excited because it means I will get access to my first classroom!! I can't wait to start organizing and putting my mark on my future classroom :) I have already been told that major renovations will be taking place in the room beside me so I am hoping that doesn't cause too many delays when it comes to gaining access to my room. *Fingers crossed* I'm still spending a lot of time finding resources that I can incorporate in my classroom. While these resources aren't subject specific, I feel like they could be a great addition to any classroom and I plan to utilize all of them! As always, I will be adding these to my lists of resources under the Fav Websites page. 1 ) Blooms Taxonomy of iPad Apps - iPads are being utilized in countless schools around the world from Kindergarten to Grade 12, as well as through higher education. This Blooms Taxonomy wheel, created by Allan Carrington, breaks down exactly how we can use this technology in the classroom in a meaningful and purposeful way. - Not only does it organize various iPad apps by the different level of Blooms, but it also provides various activity suggestions. This is one of the best and compact iPad resources that I've seen, thanks Allan! - http://www.unity.net.au/padwheel/padwheelposter.pdf 2 ) Digital Storytelling Evaluation Rubrics - Have you wanted to use Digital Storytelling with your students but wasn't quite sure about the assessment aspect of the project? Med Kharbach, at Educational Technology & Mobile Learning, has put together a great post featuring different types of assessment rubrics for digital storytelling projects. - I was especially fond of the second rubric that took Copyright Laws into account! - http://www.educatorstechnology.com/2013/04/digital-storytelling-evaluation-rubrics.html Happy Monday everyone!!

Après la frise du Moyen Âge dans Images Doc, voici celle de la Renaissance, toujours avec des petits dessins d’humour !

We had another exciting week of "ancient studies" with our Egypt Unit. After a brief look at hieroglyphics and scribes (We will visit these more in depth in the coming weeks.), we took a pause to watch a quick video on how to make papyrus. This, naturally, got my crafty fingers itchin'. I made a spur of the moment plan to try to make some of our own. Obviously, we don't have papyrus reeds growing in our backyard, so our version of this ancient paper making process had to be tweaked quite a bit. Although, our "papyrus" was not necessarily 100% authentic, the kids got a glimpse of the arduous process...and certainly a new found love of modern conveniences. To Make "Papyrus", you will need: a sheet of white or linen colored paper 2 cups of water 1 cup of sugar 2 large sheets of wax paper or aluminum foil a rolling pin, large bowl, scissors First, cut the sheet of paper into twenty-four strips 1/2 inch wide. Lay 12 strips next two each other as close to each other as possible. Secure the top of the strips to the work surface with a piece of tape (optional). Weave the remaining 12 pieces through the original 12. Real papyrus does not have this "weaving". But instead, just has horizontal strips placed on top of vertical ones. However, since we were working with paper, I though it might be better to weave them. Real papyrus is held together by the sugar of the papyrus reeds. When pressed, the sugar acts as a glue. To mimic this, mix together the 1 cup sugar and 2 cups water until the sugar has completely dissolved. Cut the tape off of the weaving to release it from the work surface. Place the weaving into the water/sugar mix. Leave for several hours so that the paper can absorb a significant amount of the sugar water. Remove weaving and transfer to wax paper. (It is easier to remove the weaving from the water if most...not all...the water is drained out of the bowl first.) Sandwich the weaving between two sheets of wax paper. Press out the excess water and flatten the weaving together with a rolling pin (Or large, smooth stone...if you really want to be authentic). Allow the weaving to dry over night. Remove from the wax paper and cut off excess strips from the sides. And there you have it. A modern day version of papyrus. Now to learn hieroglyphics...

Tried and true strategies to re-engage students and keep them engaged in their education for the rest of the school year.

Dislessia - una parola che spesso provoca paura, incertezza o incomprensione nel cuore di molti. Per me, invece, è un termine che descrive semplicemente un aspetto di chi sono. Come persona dislessica, rappresento un gruppo di individui che percepiscono e interpretano il mondo in modo diverso.

Getting your own classroom and being able to decorate it was one of the things I was most excited about when I landed my job. The things you put on your walls can be motivating, inspiring or simply just eye-catching. In this post, I hope to show you how I've made the wall space in my room work for me. Opinions/Adjectives Board This is very much a 'working wall' hence why it is so messy! I always hammer on about how important it is to put opinions in work and this wall really helps pupils to do this in a variety of tenses, instantly making their work more interesting. As we come across new adjectives in reading/listening texts, they get added to the wall. Positive adjectives are in green and negative ones are in red. I allow the students to get up during the lesson to go and pick an adjective from the wall and take it back to their place and they just stick it back up there once they are done. Makes a change from the monotony of amusant/ennuyeux! Sound Board Pupils so often struggle with the sounds in French and have the temptation to pronounce things exactly as they look which can result in some really interesting pronunciation of some words. This Sound Board is a really useful tool and allows me to direct pupils to sounds they are mispronouncing allowing them to self correct. I see pupils actively checking this all the time which means they are taking a more independent approach to their work. Although Spanish is more 'say what you see' in terms of pronunciation, I would be interesting in developing a similar tool for Spanish in the future. 'Up' Colour Agreements I unfortunately can't take credit for this one. My friend @Gem_Quinn came up with this fantastic idea for displaying colours and their agreements. While it's nothing exciting or new in terms of grammar, the display is really appealing and eye catching and just makes those initial lessons on clothes a little more interesting. It also serves as a reminder to pupils that adjectives always have to agree in another language and I suppose these colours can work in similar ways to other adjectives so it serves a dual purpose in some respects. Higher Level Structures Especially when it comes to GCSE, we want pupils to be showing off that little bit more. This was an idea that I took from my second placement and was one that I hadn't necessarily thought of myself. Instead of pupils using the same structures that they've been using since year 7/8, display some 'higher level structures' (seen here in pink for French and yellow for Spanish) and use this as a success criteria for their work. Again, this just makes their work a little more interesting while ticking a box on an examiner's mark sheet. Side-Note: You can also see here my irregular present verbs poster. I have 4/5 of these dotted around the room so that pupils can constantly refer to them! Postcards/Interesting Images Pinterest is one of my favourite things. While it may consume many hours of my life, some of the images and ideas on their are absolutely fantastic for decorating your classroom. As you can see here, they make a drab cupboard look a little bit more interesting. The Spanish postcards you can see here were picked up on a recent trip to Barcelona! Dressing the Board I've recently added time indicators in French and Spanish above the board to avoid, 'how do you say 'last weekend?' etc. I've also got days of the week/months on there as well as a student guide to DIRT and the GCSE components. Do you have any display ideas? Share them in the comments or over at @MLMusings If you'd like any of the display ideas, please just send an email to [email protected]

Je vous propose mon travail sur les grands explorateurs et la découverte du Nouveau Monde. Cette séquence s'articule autour d'une situation-problème (plus de détails ici) qui permet aux élèves de confronter les sources historiques et de bousculer leurs certitudes (Ben quoi, c'est écrit dans le livre donc c'est vrai, maîtresse, non?) Ici, mes élèves sont amenés à s'interroger sur le peuple amérindien et la façon dont les voyaient les explorateurs européens. J'amorce ce travail par l'étude du 1er album de la série des P'tites Poules, La petite poule qui voulait voir la mer, dans lequel on retrouve des références à Christophe Colomb et la découverte de l'Amérique. J'utilise aussi: le documentaire de Galhia pour les CE1 que j'ai simplement remis en page les mots mêlés pour réviser et les cartes d'identité des navigateurs de Lutin Bazar dahchandit : Lundi 8 Avril 2013 à 08:53 Je découvre cette leçon sur ton blog.
