Future Art

Dear Resume,

Our second Art Exhibit (not a contest, no competition or ribbons) involved the students looking into their crystal balls and seeing what the future will look like -- what will they look like? What job will they have? What will the world look like?

 

Give Back Club

Dear Resume,

Another part of our 4th/5th grade Give Back Club's "The world would be better if..." project, a couple of big bulletin boards everyone can write on.

Everyday Object Art

Dear Resume,

Subbed in 3rd grade class today, did the Brainstorm activity and had a little time for Found Object Art while sending kids 2 by 2 to the nurse's office for head lice checks.

Instagram Teaching

Dear Resume,

I set up an Instagram account today (mrnauton) as an experiment. When I take pictures of activities at school for the yearbook or for my bulletin boards, the students always ask if I'm on Facebook/Instagram/Vine/a new one every week that I haven't heard of yet. Of course I have no desire to share with the entire school the treasured photos of my goofy boys, our fat cat, or the burgers I eat, but if our students are using it to share and communicate maybe I can sneak a little education and inspiration in?

Right now it will be photos of places we go (museums and the like) or cool things we find (full moons, cool plants, the Lego Movie!) but when I have a classroom it could be used to flip a lesson, share favorite books, and for students to demonstrate learning.

Give Back Club

Dear Resume,

Give Back Club started on the World be better... chalk art. Invited all the other classes to come add their thoughts and ideas.
