My thoughts after visiting the PP art
room on Feb. 12th:
Jenni and I
have been friends for a long time so this wasn’t the first opportunity that I’ve
had to see her teach. I’ve always
admired her creativity when planning projects and this time was no
different. She’s amazing! The 2nd grade class that I
observed was working on cardboard portraits.
On this particular day the kids were embellishing their portraits with
buttons, doll hair, ribbon, etc. This
was the 3rd day for them to work on their project- during the
previous two art classes the kids cut, glued, and painted their cardboard faces. Like any art teacher has to be, Jenni was
really organized. The supplies were out
and ready for the kids to access. I
missed the first 5 minutes of her lesson but I’m sure it was spent directing
the kids on their goals for the day because when they started working they knew
exactly what to do. She spent the entire time that I was there cutting more
yarn and ribbon, helping students and verbally reviewing directions for the
whole class. They only have art for 35
minutes but what they were able to do in a short time was great. I’m amazed
that they were able to cut the cardboard on their own.
