First Art Class

During the first art class we are discussing classroom expectations and making portfolios which will keep student artwork safe throughout the year.


Art room at Dyer
Art room at Kaler

I have also introduced the Red Caps of Awesomeness Challenge!


If a table of students is working quietly, respectfully, and responsibly, they earn a red cap. At the end of the class, all of the red caps get tallied together and the total is recorded on the class chart. Once a class earns 50 caps they get to have an Arty Party- Free choice art day. The first couple of classes seem to be very excited about this challenge. Hopefully it will be a success :)
