Hello there,
I vowed to myself that this year, I would be more involved in the three schools that I work in, and I have been on participation overload! My brain is usually mush by Friday at 3:10, but I made it a goal to get some blog posts in here between loads of laundry!
This year, I am on the PBIS (Positive Behavior Intervention System) team, Spirit committee, Mural Makers is up and running again, and I have been collaborating making parade floats, new all-school PBIS tokens, and more! This entry will be showing the beginning of the second mural at one of my schools. Last year, I had about 15 students help paint a mural based on Keith Haring. This year, the principal requested the alphabet between the Kinder and first grade rooms!
The students and I created a "Mural Makers Agreement" on the first day, using the PBIS "Be Respectful, Be Responsible, and Be Safe" as talking points. I have mostly new students, only 3 or 4 have experienced painting on the wall before - many of them were nervous to make the first stroke! We talked about how artists create large-scale work, and how confident you have to be with your strokes and techniques. Once they got going, they accomplished a lot in the first session!
<- Helping reach the higher spots!
After the first session of painting, this is the result! These artists work fast!
Thank you for visiting, and come back soon!
