How powerful it was to collaborate and plan amazing opportunities for all of our kid creators in #DMUSD #ARTteacher #artEd #steamTeam @CatGilbertArtEd @AF_artstudio @DMSEF8
Our 5th grade @HTS_Dolphins rocked out their thinking routine in the studio classifying what artists do & where in our community! @MrsMazepa @cristinstrain @TKinneycissna I remember a similar opener when they were in 3rd grade- we have come so far! Exciting things are coming!
Wrapping up week 1 with our @HTS_Dolphins 4th and 6th graders! I can’t wait to see/hear their conversations on what and who constitutes art and an artist - as we dive deeper into a TAB based studio experience (teaching for artistic behavior)
We can’t wait for full day schedule to introduce our youngest and newest @HTS_Dolphins dolphins to the Studio! Read aloud “Art Today” then brainstormed what artists do, and of course freedom of expression as paint was of course their first request! @DMSEF8
Fun in First! We all love the giant crayons from @Crayola Our @HTS_Dolphins have to be extra determined because it takes whole body focus! I loved learning about all the things they are passionate about!
adding the final touches to our K-3 studio in preparation for the first day for our @HTS_Dolphins don’t forget to stay kind- to one another and yourself! It starts internally and with a #GrowthMindset and #Empathy can change the world around!
While we prep #back2school I’m thrilled to see our @HTS_Dolphins family! I haven’t seen some of those staff smiles for 18 months! Just don’t forget to give yourself the same kindness & grace you all show to others! @Crayola
a few more of 3rd grade @HTS_Dolphins tiny homes! So much to appreciate in their efforts and collaboration- our motto was “measure, measure, measure again” & always check w/ your team & client needs! #dmusd @DMSEF8 even designed homes 4 @MrsMazepa @MrsWaldal #designTHINKING
Over the last few weeks our 3rd grade @HTS_Dolphins were able to collaborate 4 art & integration to bring to life a tiny home for their clients. Loving the detail & reflection on matching client needs! #dmusd @DMSEF8 @KateAndersonEDU
Careful @HTS_Dolphins they might bite! 2nd grade pinch pot creatures based on their learning of animal adaptations with @KMinarik1 they loved using their imagination for camouflage, escaping predators, protecting their young, and so much more! @MrsWaldal @MrsMazepa @DMSEF8
Too many great works of art to look at! @HTS_Dolphins 6th grade recently wrapped up another cycle of 2-D #choiceArt #TABchat #tabART it’s powerful when you hear students find inspiration from their peers @mrslspetter @DMSEF8 #ArtEd #steam
It’s about the process! But these final 3rd grade kinetic art mobiles inspired by Calder and their science weather unit with @KMinarik1 are pretty impressive! @KateAndersonEDU @mrscmasick @HTS_Dolphins @DMSEF8 #dmusd #steam #integration #artchat
When @HTS_Dolphins kindergarteners request coding during rainy recess! Girls rocking our @BeebotCo pollen collecting challenges 4 #EarthDay2021 & science integration. #girlsWhoCode #girlsInSTEAM they had no idea I was listening to them cheer each other on! @DMSEF8 #dmusd
If u could hear her personal dialogue about brushstrokes, colors, & the creatures that live in her painting! This is why we try new things even as adults/teachers, it’s 4these moments! Our @HTS_Dolphins creators are inspiring this teacher! @DMSEF8 #dmusd #tabChat
Love that our art/integration model provides a wider range of expression 4 our @HTS_Dolphins during #choiceSTUDIO with @ACatilus #1stgrade honoring #EarthDay2021 w/ collage, watercolor, even @ChatterPixIt & coding! @DMSEF8 #dmusd #tabChat this is #innovation #studentagency
