It's testing season and I'm not just the art teacher but our building's technology coach. It's the type of job that you never knew you didn't want. In all actuality, I'm pretty good at it and it's not a complete nightmare. But, with state testing it's required me to be out of the classroom a great deal and now I'm in the proctor's seat for the next 5 days. I always take my absences and changes in the schedule as an opportunity to do something cross-curricular. I like to squeeze this into my curriculum at least once a quarter. Check out this lesson blog for ideas on how to combine circuitry, Mondrian, Degas, and fraction practice.
I missed my students and classroom but this was a great way to keep students engaged, studying art and technology, and out of trouble.
I'm really looking forward to being back with my students to help them create connections between all the different activities that they completed.
