(8 hours)

February 4th

Prep 15 minutes before school started

I had to make four more clay rolls for the students this day because there was another class who needed them.

Homeroom: Middle School

This time was filled with collecting sheets that parents signed for a steak lunch for the students. TGI Fridays had donated steak and potatoes lunches to the students for their hard work and after school volunteering at many places.

1st Period: 8th grade : 13 students

This class the teacher and i talked about a poster that she has always wanted to make for the class room, i had mentioned that i had a Cricut cutter and could cut lettering with it. Since i live across the street i was able to run and grab my cutting machine and start helping her make a poster for the class room.

2nd period: 7th grade :12 students

I was cutting cardboard for the poster this class. The poster was about all the ways you could attach cardboard together because the art room used a lot of cardboard. I made many different chuncks for the poster 

3rd period: 6th Grade :12 students

During this class I had put together the entire poster and had my Cricut cut the letters and then glue them on to the poster.

4th Period: 4th Grade : 7 students

After the final details on the poster i helped the students make pinch pots. We used the clay chunk rolls i had cut earlier and then pinched them into a pot. I got to make one with them to, it was a lot of fun to sit at the tables with the students and help them and make my own small pot.

5th Period: 5th Grade : 8 students

These kids had finished their work early so we had a sketch day, each student could pull out their sketch book and draw what they wanted. I sat with a table and drew with them, i made a small sheet of dinosaurs for each student and cut them out for them all because they all wanted dinosaurs.

6th period: Kindergarten : 6 students

This class was still painting hearts and finished by the end of class. The teacher had me read them a book while they all sat in a circle and worked on their sketch books. This was very fun, the book was something like “your words” or “heart and words” it was a book telling them to be nice with their words because it affects others hearts. 

Prep time:

During the end of the day the teacher and I got to talk about new links that i could look up and new things i could do for lessons in the future. One of these things was the PMI paper drive. It’s a paper drive where when you go you can take as much paper as you can home with you for your students or you. Another Tip was a website called ArtSonia.com its a website that the teacher put the students work up on so when she has to grade she wont have to take the risk of bringing the students work home with her she can just look at the post and grade from there.
