ST MICHALES

February 11th (8 hours)

Prep 15 minutes before school started

We worked on cutting sheets of paper for a mural project fro both the classes and my class project. We have to get the students to draw an image on their square of what being catholic means to them. Then after all the students are done we will tape the images together and unfold all of them in the parking lot creating a big mural. We will send a drone into the air to take a picture of it.

Homeroom: Middle School

This was a very quiet time for their homeroom as many kids were out sick so we said prayer and then waited for classes to begin.

1st Period: 8th grade : 13 students

For this class the students continued on their stop motion projects by putting all the images together and then editing it into a stop motion movie. They then updated their google websites with the projects so they could be graded.

2nd period: 7th grade :12 students

This class was busy paper macheing animals. I had to help a student with her cats tail as we struggled to find a way to support it in the air in an s curve. It was a fun class to help. 

3rd period: 6th Grade :12 students

This class after they finished their origami posters worked on the squares for their mural contribution. During this time i made my example and helped them think of ideas to draw on their squares.

4th Period: 4th Grade : 7 students

These kids just finished painting all sorts of hearts fro valentines day and then worked on the mural squares as well. We continued to build the squares for the in progress mural for the school.

5th Period: 5th Grade : 8 students

During this class i went to hang up new pictures that the students made for different projects. There were many valentines penguins and radial design origami projects. 

6th period: Kindergarten : 6 students

This was the most fun class of the day. I had to sit with the student and make a cute paper lion face with little bits of construction paper and crayons. I sat and helped one of the more distracted students make sure he got his lions done. After we did lions we all drew on squares for the mural and all the kids wanted to pull chairs up and draw with me.

Prep time:

After this day was over the teacher and I watched the weather trying to find a day we could start sending the drone up to take pictures of the mural. Unfortunately we found out we had to go by a day by day basis on if we could get a picture or not due to weather restrictions. After this we looked at the kids schedule to see when i could next do my teaching lesson with the students, we found out that march 17th was the next time those students were in the art room so that would be when i would teach.
