I cannot believe we are here, but we have made it through the last full week of school. Remote classes met this week for their last live meeting. I reminded them of the work that we have done this second semester and talked to them about how they can check to see that they have their work completed and returned. All choice boards have been posted in their Google Classroom this week for anyone who needs to review any of our themes. 3rd and 4th grade have had 4 assignments from this semester, 5th grade has had 3 assignments.
We then spent class time playing WhatchamaDRAWit. Our prompts this week were: 1. Draw a creature with a fish head, an elephant body and spider legs. 2. Draw a kitten skiing down a mountain with a mouse riding on her head. 3. Draw an angry banana chasing a happy grape around a bowl of singing cherries. 4. Draw an ice cream cone house. 5. Draw a tiger wearing sunglasses riding a skateboard. Offering these prompts every month has been such a fun way to interact with remote students. This did not take all of class time so I asked that students check their Classwork tab in ensure their assignments have been returned. I also had bittersweet moments with my 5th grade students. My first year at Lincoln Trail was their 3rd grade year so next year will be my first year here without them. They have grown so much and I am so proud of the amazing people they are! They will hold a special place in my heart forever. Next week has 3 days of field day. Remote students have a time slot on Monday to come in and play some games with each other and the Encore team. I can't wait to see them in person!

May 11-May 14This week all grade levels came to the same place again in their schedule for our current project. This week was Week 4 for everyone. We devoted the majority of class this week to finishing our last art project and turning the Google Doc assignment in. Anyone who had their assignment already turned in had the opportunity to play WhatchamaDRAWit. Drawing prompts for April are recorded in a video which is posted in each Google Classroom. Students could also draw, color or stretch their creative muscles in other ways during class if they had their assignment turned in. Assignments are due by the end of the school day on Friday, May 14th.
Next week we will have all of our last live meetings for the school year. That means all assignments need to be turned in as soon as possible. In order to make sure work is turned in and returned, check the Classwork tab in each Art Google Classroom. I leave feedback if something is missing as to why an assignment is not returned. 3rd and 4th grade should have 4 completed assignments this semester, and 5th grade should have 3 assignments (due to all of the Fridays without school). Finish up those projects, turn in those assignments and I will see everyone again next week for our last meeting of the school year! 3rd and 4th Grade: Week 3This week students had the majority of the class time to start or continue to work on their art project. It was great to see so many students working with the Model Magic clay that I offered to them! It isn't too late to request a package. This clay could be used for our form inspired art project, or be considered a small gift from the art room.
The Google Doc assignment is now posted for students to turn in their project and their Monthly review if they finish before the due date (Friday, May 14th). This assignment is posted under the Classwork tab in their Google Classroom. A video with step by step instructions for how to turn it in can be found in the Stream of their Google Classroom. With the end of the school year quickly approaching, it is time to make sure all missing assignments are completed and turned in to earn credit. Students with missing work have been sent reminder emails. Next week during our next live meetings, all students will have one last class time to finish up their project and get it turned in. If they have already turned in a completed assignment, WhatchamaDRAWit prompts will be posted as a fun way to be creative during class. Keep making art and I look forward to seeing you soon! |
