no worries! I am here and my students are a-ok
I haven’t been posting, but that is only because before and after winter break is pure chaos. It is even more crazy now knowing that my 3rd, 4th, and 5th graders will rotate and I get an entire different section from that grade each trimester.
Regardless, everything is cool. We began new sections with color theory and they are producing some bangin’ work. Things are still dramatic as always…. lots of nonsense my kids are constantly going through that I witness daily.
Apparently we are really aiming to have our new school (k-12 under one roof) built by September. Yesterday I was selected to represent my department and met all day with potential architects to discuss what we needed/wanted in the new building. It was a pretty formal presentation to 12 bigwigs… and a little terrifying. However, I am very eager to see if we will be moving next year. I sure hope so… because my artroom was not meant to be an artroom and it greatly affects our learning.
In other news, I just had one of ym 3rd graders, Cassidy, who can barely talk (I know) come up to me and say “Miss G., do you know I have a monkey bra on today?” Luckily after a year and a half of having her as my student I can understand her, and could understand that she was telling me about her underwear. Love how comfortable they are with us.
Anyway, off to finish painting a ridiculous backdrop. I swear I get asked to do the worst jobs.
more images/detail updates later.
