After high school, I was very fortunate to obtain a volleyball scholarship. Where did it take me, you might ask??? Well, for 2 years, it took me to the College of the Rockies, in Cranbrook, British Columbia. It was a wonderful experience and to this day, leaves me with fond memories. Cranbrook, considered the main... View Article

This post was written before I set out for Africa, hopefully I'll be able to add some images while I'm there! In everything there is a process and, lets be honest, as artists/teachers sometimes our process can be a little chaotic and all over the place. So let me just give you a little glimpse into how I create lessons for my classes. As with everything I sometimes work a little backward...I see an art project or a piece of work from an artist and take that an apply it into the lesson. So for example I might see a beautiful piece of carved wood and think... "How can I use the standards/curriculum and teach this to my students? What is the objective? Whats the history behind it? What is the necessary vocabulary? What materials would I need? How will I store this? What does the finish product need to look like?" SO MANY QUESTIONS TO CONSIDER! But we make it work don't we? At the end of the year I create a very rough outline of what the next year will look like for each grade level K-5th. I use this template here. (The link leads you to a livebinder, which I think is pretty awesome, and you can download the template if you want, like I said its a very BASIC template for a rough outline.) Then I fill it in with the criteria that we have in our curriculum and also certain artists and shows/deadlines for the new year. I like being able to see the BIG PICTURE. Blank 6 weeks outline template. My lesson plans have changed a lot over the past five years, here is the one I was using last year for my K-5th classes. I really liked having it all on one page; schedule of times, objectives, TEKS, everything across the board. It also helped me visualize scope & sequence. This year I wanted to do something I learned in a book called Teach Like a Champion. It's called Double Plan(click the link for a very brief summary). Basically you write in the lesson plans what the students expectations are at certain times in the lesson/while you're teaching. Very basic double plan lesson. I also included the skills that are mastered or should be mastered in this lesson as well as a little check box so that I can keep up with which classes miss a day because of field trips or other things that come up during school. It's really helped me keep up with how well my students are retaining the information and mastering the techniques. Just before school ended I found a binder with my previous lesson plans and I think I want to go back to the six columns so its easier to see everything that's going on right in front of me, now the question is how do I incorporate the Double Plan method which I've come to like...decisions, decisions. What do your lesson plans look like? How do you prepare for a new school year? Thoughts on the new TEKS? Check back next week for how I updated my Educator Portfolio.

I have named this mini quilt Assemble. She is about 13.5" x 17" and was quilted on my regular home sewing machine using a walking foot. Assemble is the result of a small, international round robin project that I participated in with 5 of my internet friends (their instagram names are in brackets) - Lynz (@ochil_lynz), Susan (@patchnplay), Jan (@isisjem), Dee (@deeroodesigns), and Ethné (flamingstitches on Flickr). The group, which on Flickr calls itself PIP Testing (I have to admit I do not understand what that means or why it is the name but I'm good all the same) decided on a round robin project, with the quilt to circle the globe. (My piece went to Australia, then to the UK and Scotland, then to the USA then back to me.) Talk of all that postage led to the idea of a mini quilt round robin, which also made the project much harder as additions were small and counted a lot. To allow for the quilts to travel, we had a shipping month and a making month, which turned out to be about perfect and the project took us almost exactly a year to complete. We each made our first block and created an inspiration mosaic. With my mosaic, I asked my friends to focus on the "feeling" for their inspiration. If you click that photo you will go to my Flickr photo which has links to all the original photos used in the mosaic if you are looking for them. I love the mini quilt that was returned to me. I started quilting her this weekend. I used my home machine and a walking foot so that I could have straightish lines going whatever way I wanted. One issue with the long arm is that diagonal lines are hard to make without a ruler and I am not yet skilled at using rulers. Moreover, I did not want the lines perfectly straight either. Here she is after quilting. I was debating whether or not to add some hand stitching to the appliqué shapes last night so I trimmed and bound her while I was thinking. I have since decided to leave those shapes to float above the quilted part of the quilt. Like planets or something, the overall image of this quilt has an outer-space sort of quality for me, I'm not sure why. Also it is a play on the idea of the quilt being assembled by several people, and the appliqué pieces are, perhaps, in the process of being assembled - well, you have my thoughts on it. Modern pieces are interpreted by each viewer differently, and it is fun that this is my quilt but also not fully my processes - she is still telling me about herself. On the back I included the signature block from all my friends. I picked the yellow binding as the yellow bits in the quilt stand out for me as rays of light and I quilted them with a yellow thread while the rest was quilted with aqua or a darker blue/green variegated thread. I am going to think on the binding. I might, in future, take it off and add a faced binding instead. I am not sure that I like the frame on this piece or not yet, but for now she is finished. Initially, this was the orientation I had in mind, but I have now decided that the photo at the top is the right way up for Assemble. She does work landscape too. Assemble is my only finish for Q2 of the 2016 FAL. I know, as one of the global hosts, I should have done better but still, a finish is a finish. If you have not yet linked up your Q2 finishes, you have a day and a half - until Thursday July 7 at 9 pm MDT, so get them linked - go here - as there are wonderful prizes to be randomly given away after the link closes. Best, Leanne
