End of the Year

The end is in sight. This time of year I find it nice to reflect on what went well and what didn't throughout the year. This year it was tricky for me because I had an LTS for part of the year. I have a few idea's already started for next year.

• A small project at the beginning of the year to get the year started out. This will also help with getting Artist of the Month started right away.


• Pictures near the sink, art supply area, book shelf, and art shirts of what the area should look like before leaving. Who knows if it will help.


• New behavior management system. Dan Olsen does a star chart during each class for each kid and rewards after 10 stars.... I am going to try it. It will be something positive to offer.


• Working on grading projects right at the end of the day- not waiting for an entire class to finsih, we will see how it goes, I will have to be SUPER organized!
