Attention behaviors got you frustrated? Here are simple to implement strategies for attention seeking in the classroom...
Half way through the week! Wednesday's always seem promising that the week is indeed going by and the weekend will be here before you know it! We don't have a football game this weekend and I actually have no idea what I will be getting into. I've had a horrible sinus infection all week and if it doesn't get better I will be doing a whole lot of nothing. I've been a horrible poster on Tuesday's because that is my internship day. I haven't quite figured out a good schedule that allows free time for this. I always leave my internship in "classroom mode." With that being said here are some of my favorite pinterest finds to one day use as a teacher! First, this is me yesterday before my internship. I decided I'm in the right profession because it's entirely okay for me to wear bubblegum pink pants and a lime green scarf! western theme! Jamie at this kind of love- This reminded me of you when you were setting up your pirate theme class this summer!

2019 Disclaimer: As I'm becoming more informed about cultural appropriation, I've become aware that I probably did not have all the background necessary to do this project justice. With that being said, as art educators we all need to do what is best for our students to meet their needs. Feel free to read on.. but I'm not sure that I would teach this lesson again. To learn more about cultural appropriation in art education, please check out this wonderfully informative article by Artful Artsy Amy. To begin this project I began by showing my 4th graders a powerpoint that I put together that explored the totem poles created by the Pacific Northwest Native Americans. We talked about how the totem poles were typically stylized images of animals that often represented people, events, or even whole communities! We also talked about how animals often have associated human characteristics - for example a dog is loyal, an owl is wise, a fox is sly, etc. After viewing the powerpoint, I had students figure out which animal they thought best represented themselves and practice sketching stylized versions of it on a worksheet I created. I emphasized repeatedly that students should avoid just drawing the outline of their animal, and instead just use the shape of the posterboard itself as the body (this took A LOT of reinforcement for some students). Once students were pleased with their sketch, they were given a piece of 14"x12" white posterboard and redrew their animal onto the board in pencil. This was then traced over in black sharpie. Once the drawing was completed, students used tempera paint to add color to their animals. Once the painting was finished, I used strips of posterboard stapled to the back of their boards to make their pieces 3-dimensional. Students that finished early had the opportunity to use construction paper to add more detail. Once the entire class was finished I assembled the totem poles by stacking the individual components together and taping them.
The blue stickers are the glow ones. As one of Builder Boy's birthday presents we got him RoomMates Glow in the Dark Peel & Stick Wall Decals (same brand as our other wall stickers.) He already had planets and rocket-ships; now he has over 200 stars all over his room. I let him put most of them wherever he wanted them, but I did save some of the round stickers and made six "real" constellations on the back of the door. (But they don't show up on a picture taken with my camera.) We haven't studied astronomy yet, but if he'll get used to seeing some of the patterns in the stars and start thinking about them that way. I used the constellation guide from about.com and picked out five. I also found a neat blog about stargazing with your kids and they have some cool printables available. Pin It

Now, we have discussed behavior charts… do you use them in your classroom? Like I mentioned before, I am a bit impartial to them. I don’t think you HAVE to have them, nor do I think you HAVE to take them down. I think you need to do what is best for your students. For the […]
I am in the midst of redesigning Mr. B’s classroom. Last week I made these fan medallions to put up on one of the bulletin boards. A week has gone by, and I am feeling more gracious about them, maybe they weren’t as boring as I remember them being. I might make a few more… […]
