Exchange City
20 04 2007
First of all, I wanted to say I had a great time with the 5th and 6th graders at Exchange City this past Monday. I know the students learned a lot from their experience there, and it was great to see the students rise to the occasion when real world problems were presented to them. I’m looking forward to continuing this program next year.
Also, the 3rd graders began their trips to the Smart Museum for the Art in Focus program this week. I went with Mr. Brookins class and Ms. Ziegler will be going with Mr. Graves class. They will be visiting a total of 3 times over the next few weeks while they learn about various art principles.
Next, the 5th graders started a project today making public service announcements. I’m very excited about this project because it really pushes the students to think and learn the different programs in the computer lab. I’m looking forward to putting the finished products on the blog.
Finally, Ms. Lager has finished her second week at student teaching and she is really getting the hang of it. She is still in the middle of different types of printmaking with the 4th, 5th, and 6th graders. And, she is working with the 3rd graders on these great “junk” sculptures.
Until next week…
