Art Class: Lines (Part II)

The P1 children have completed their self portraits and the only thing left for me to do is to put up all the works in the classrooms.

Art Class: Form & Balance (3,2,1 Reflection)

Another observation that I've noticed is that there is a vast mismatch between their eloquence and their writing skills. Some children can present themselves so well that I almost assumed they have comparable skills in other areas of the English language. I had a little heart attack when I received their written reflection. These 3,2,1 reflections (see below) required only short answers but I had them corrected numerous times.

How I set the pace in class is when I know that the students were clear about what they need to do in their reflection from the previous lesson, I would transit to the new lesson unit by giving new instructions for the new unit and students who have cleared their reflections would embark on the new task while the ones who needs help in writing will come to me for one-to-one conferencing. 

Artventures: DIY Shrinking Plastic Crafts

Hi! Hope everyone is safe and well. It's term break now and I wanted to make something for my class. Here's the shrinking plastic craft video and I've underestimated the time needed to complete 26 of them. It would be faster if I feed everything in the oven but sadly it's out of bounds for non-food items. So, I had to heat these up individually with a heat gun. I made some twice as it didn't turned out as I've expected. 

Housekeeping: Early Finishers

A friend who just started to conduct art classes asked how I track the progress of the different classes. As the classes spread throughout the week, some classes would miss their art lessons due to mandatory school programme such as health screening or accumulated time loss due to snack time embedded in the curriculum (a lot can be done in 10 min!). Thus, we have to plan for buffer time to ensure all children can still complete the curriculum. For my students who have completed their task this term, they will be helping to do up the art room by referring to the above video for a quick lesson.
