Last week was the 2nd Annual Sun Path Academic Celebration! Basically each class does some kind of a project or showcases some work that they have been doing, also I have an art project up for EACH student that I teach, and students can work on something at home that they want to present (an art project, science experiment, paper, music performance, etc.), and there is a band concert.
It is a really great way for parents to see what we work on in the art room- for each class I put a little sign with the artwork explaining what they learned and the artist they studied.
It is a lot of work to get a project from every student (and have it finished) at the same time. My plan for this year was to have projects done before the end of April so that I had some breathing room in between to ensure that everyone had a completed project. I thought that was going to happen but I must not have said it right to my LTS. It all worked out but I was working to the last day to get projects completed.
My plan for next year:
1. Be finished with the project AT LEAST 2 weeks before SPAC.
2. Not allow students to take work home- some 5th graders asked and then they didn't bring it back so they didn't have anything up.....
3. Shorter projects- so if we need to finish in a day- it is more likely to be possible for them to finish on their own????
Mainly I just want to be done earlier..... because parent volunteers hang the artwork and it would be nice to have them finished so they can hang all of it in a day or two versus four. :)
