The problem was some flowers got too big and some too small. The solution was to create a template. This was helpful for students. I had students follow along with me using the following video. We did flowers 1-4 together to give students confidence. Then they could do 3 flowers on their own and two 'things' that fly in the garden (birds, bugs, butterflies... ). The flowers were created on Day 1 of this project. </div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgRA2FVMF-aZO1M-wdE4PmsgvoQLDxppWoKb8VWe1gGSgGPOdxnIq3SIKPpHjtS-c5M8NYXDCFcexWZf8f2cJSMEqtJspwKmlcs31akGFSLcS2KVAMl4kpBI8CIzKHjwxHEknfaAqYV3gs/" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="" data-original-height="1536" data-original-width="2048" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgRA2FVMF-aZO1M-wdE4PmsgvoQLDxppWoKb8VWe1gGSgGPOdxnIq3SIKPpHjtS-c5M8NYXDCFcexWZf8f2cJSMEqtJspwKmlcs31akGFSLcS2KVAMl4kpBI8CIzKHjwxHEknfaAqYV3gs/" width="640" /></a></div></div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><iframe allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/MAfmrbUoIrk" title="YouTube video player" width="560"></iframe></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">Many classes had some time after making the flowers.

They came to the carpet for the next instruction.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">3) I showed students how to create 3 stems... I found this to be the 'magic' number of stems to not be too crowded and to allow students to be successful.

VERY short clip.

I thought I would send her a pick-me-up and started making some magnets to add to her collection featuring some of our favorite shows. For starts... $chitts Creek!

I am teaching students in-person as well as online. It has been a tricky balance (maybe balance is the wrong word, because... I don't feel balanced right now). I was excited to create a lesson inspired by a local Minnesota Artist named <a href="https://adamturman.com/aboutadam">Adam Turman</a>. He is really well known to our local area. His work is so bold and impressive that it could be inspiration for classes in any location while working on this lesson.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">Here is how I introduced this lesson to my students (both online and in-person).</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><iframe allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/JRLF1pBC40g" width="560"></iframe>

I'm glad to have this in my practice already... this is also how I present the lessons to my at home learners. This first lesson was created using Adobe SPARK. You can see that I broke down the steps into time. See our State/District has allowed families to move into and out of Distance Learning at two points in the year. I need to keep all my students at the same point to easily bring them into and out of both platforms of learning. So, I would teach in person a week and then edit the times and how far the classes got... then I would share the lesson with my Distance Learning students. <br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">

I like to show videos in chunks. I know Google Slides allows me to do this. I can edit and show only a portion of a video... so that is why I switched back to Google Slides (Slides is such a great platform). So, here was the lesson for day two.

Last year, my 5th annual #ATCswap almost didn't happen. I just barely got the cards sent out before my school went into lockdown. Many participants received their cards after the lockdown. Their students never got the cards. The good news is, you have cards to trade with your students this year (I guess that is the silver lining). </p><p>Anyway, there is way too much uncertainty this year. I don't even know what the expectations of teaching are for my classroom so I have no idea if I'll be able to participate in the swap. I created a Google Form that several teachers filled out and on Friday, August 21st I email anyone on the form list. This allowed interested teachers to contact one another and set up a swap between individuals </p><p>You can watch on Instagram as people start trading. Watch the tag #ATCswap and I will be sharing anything that I'm tagged in as well. </p>

I have been sharing photos from my recent trip to South Dakota on Instagram and Facebook and have gotten a lot of questions about where, when, what to do out there. I have to say, what we chose to do on our vacation was a combination of a lot of others suggestions and our own research. Our goal for this trip was to get out of the house after a long 'stay at home' order. I also wanted to pepper it with any art that I was about to encounter... so I shared on social media. I also share on social media to get my 'scrapbooking' done as I go through life. I print out a book once a year with all the post on my personal IG account. I will be printing this out too... I'm sharing with you but also documenting for our family travels. </div>

We started our travels on Sunday, June 14th at 8am-ish. We went from Elk River, Minnesota to Murdo, South Dakota. This was a 7 1/2 hour drive so we broke it up a bit with some stops along the way.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
The first stop was in Mankato, Minnesota. This town is a common visit for us for one reason or another. This is a town that loves their art. I know every year they have new sculptures on their downtown sculpture tour so I wanted to see what they had this year. I also heard about this <a href="https://www.cityartmankato.com/tours/silo-art/">Silo Project</a> that they were doing. When I looked into it a bit, I realized that this was by a world known artist named <a href="https://www.guidovanhelten.com/">Guido van Helton</a>. I saw his work when I visited Australia last year. To find out he was working right here... in my home state was amazing. This was what his work looked like on June 14th. <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TqS291E9yOA&feature=emb_logo">You can see live footage on the project on their YouTube channel</a>. </div>

Again, I had done my research and knew that there was a lot of art to been seen. They too have a sculpture tour down town. Because of the whole Covid thing... There was not a lot of businesses open. Many of the ones that were, were celebrating Pride Week, so there was lots of bright colors downtown. We had some Macarons from <a href="http://chpastries.com/">CH Patisserie</a> and a wonderful meal from <a href="https://josiahscoffee.com/">Josiah's, a pet friendly Coffee House</a>.</span><span style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: left;"></span></div>

Mitchell, South Dakota was our next stop. I think it's a must!! We stopped at the one and only <a href="https://cornpalace.com/">Corn Palace.</a> This place had so much history, lot's of fun corn themed merchandise, and clean bathrooms. This was a quick stop for us, but there is a lot in Mitchell to explore.</div>

Another amazing work of art was waiting for us at our next stop. Not too far from Mitchell is the statue <a href="https://www.travelsouthdakota.com/trip-ideas/story/dignity-earth-sky">Dignity: of Earth and Sky.</a> This is so much more than a rest area... it was the first taste of a different landscape, an amazing overlook to the Missouri River, and this beautiful work of art! Absolutely stunning and breath taking to stand beside. </div>

We jumped back on to Hwy 90 and traveled at 80 miles per hour to Murdo, South Dakota, our final destination that night. This family of four was beat and ready for bed. The plan was to get up early the next day and get to the badlands as soon as we could. </div>

Between Murdo and the Badlands we went from Central Time Zone to Mountain Time Zone. That meant we left our motel at 7 something, and got into the Badlands at 6 something. That was great because there was hardly anyone on the roads or in the park as we arrived. We got a little distracted by some prairie dogs as we came in. Those little things are so funny to watch but as we found out, a very common occurrence. </div>

As we drove through the <a href="https://www.nps.gov/badl/index.htm">Badlands National Park</a>, the landscape continued to change. I kept asking the kids to get out and take another picture... and another one... and another one. They know that I don't collect things from our trips... but rather pictures, so they humored me. </div>

We had a little 'Art Teacher fun', The kids explored the rocks and paths and I took some time to do a little drawing. Just wanted to say good morning to the Badlands. Then we went on a hike called <a href="https://www.alltrails.com/trail/us/south-dakota/notch-trail">Notch Trail</a>. According to the app <a href="https://www.alltrails.com/?ref=header">All Trails</a> (which is the best app) it was rated as a moderate hike. I would agree. There is some climbing that must be done, and even a ladder (pictured below). Over all, not the toughest trail we went on while in South Dakota, and worth the hike. </div>

Right out side of Rapid City, South Dakota was the South Dakota <a href="https://www.sdairandspacemuseum.com/">Air and Space Museum</a> at the Ellsworth AFB. We were not able to go inside due to Covid 19... so we explored the airplanes on the outside and watched several military aircrafts taking off and landing. My son really enjoyed this. </div>

Then to our little 'home away from home' we made our way down to Keystone. We stayed at the <a href="https://www.powderhouselodge.com/">Powder House Lodge</a>, right outside of Keystones downtown. It was such a cute little cabin. This is about as rustic as I like to get... with a shower, fridge, microwave, a sink, and two beds. It was perfect for us. We were just a hop away from the pool and the restaurant there was amazing... In fact, if you are in Keystone, stop for a meal and have things like Buffalo Ribs, and Elk Burger, or Venison Tips. It seemed to be a locals favorite! </div>

The next day we had rented ATV's but we couldn't pick them up until 9 am so we had enough time for an early morning hike. Three of us woke up and went to <a href="https://www.alltrails.com/trail/us/south-dakota/hippie-hole-north">'The Hippie Hole'</a>. I found this place on the app All Trails again and it identified this as a moderate trail... I'm not great at rock climbing so it was a little more difficult for me. We also had to drive down some really rough roads so I would have done this without our truck and rather later with the ATV if I were to do it again. But it was AMAZING!! Bring a towel and jump in the water if you like. We did not because of our time limit... but it's something I regret a bit. </div>

For the rest of the day we went ATVing. WOW!!! That was so much fun! Our family doesn't do a lot of gifts... rather, we like to give experiences. Each kid got to choose one big splurge on our trip. Sawyer, my 14 year-old son wanted to do an ATV ride. We bought a whole day... but I would suggest a half of a day. We loved it, but it was a lot of bumping around. We should have taken more breaks or gone with a half of a day. The rental place was called <a href="https://blackhillswildernessedge.com/">Black Hills ATV</a> and they did everything right. They explained things well and helped us plan our day. The ATV we got was brand new as well so it was fun to drive. </div>

That night, after cleaning up... a lot of dirt... we went to <a href="https://www.nps.gov/moru/index.htm">Mount Rushmore</a>. There was construction going on in the park and a lightning storm at dusk so we missed the night show, but still got to see the sculpture studio and the monument it's self. </div>

The next day we went on a long drive through Spearfish Canyon Scenic Byway. In the city of Savoy, we did an easy trail called <a href="https://www.alltrails.com/trail/us/south-dakota/savoy-waterfalls-trail">Savoy Waterfall Trail.</a> I would suggest eating at <a href="https://www.facebook.com/latchstringrestaurant/">Latchstring Restaurant</a> and sitting on their patio. It's an amazing view and really great food. We then walked down to the waterfall... a bit of an incline, but not a bad walk at all. You get to see this amazing falls at the bottom, totally worth it. We also stopped to see a HUGE waterfall called <a href="https://visitspearfish.com/things-to-do/bridal-veil-falls">Bridal Veil Falls</a> along the byway. It is directly off the road so no need to walk anywhere. </div>

Our next stop might have been our favorite. It's a place called <a href="https://www.alltrails.com/trail/us/south-dakota/devils-bathtub">Devils Bathtub</a>. This was a hike that brought you back and forth several times over a creek. I did loose my balance so I had wet shoes... but that was OK. In fact, I would suggest you wearing shoes that you can hike and get wet in. It made it a lot easier for the rest of the hike. When you get to something that looks like the picture below, keep going. The one that everyone slides down is the third 'waterfall' in. There were so many trout in this river as well. My son even caught one with his hands. </div>

We dried off and traveled to Deadwood to check out that town. We did watch a couple of reenactments that took place in the downtown area about every hour. For our family however, it really wasn't what we were looking for. If you are looking for food, bars, casinos, and stores to shop in, this is a great place... and looks like a lot of fun. Instead, we were off to ride some horses. </div>

My daughter, 12 year-old Matisse requested horseback riding for her chosen adventure. We headed to Lead, South Dakota to visit <a href="https://www.andystrailrides.com/">Andy's Trail Rides</a>. We went with Andy because my husband Tim is a big guy and most places didn't have horses that would be able to accommodate giants... but Andy did. We had an excellent experience with two trail leads. We took a 2 hour ride through old mining land. We had spectacular views. It started to rain just a little... not really much at all, but it was enough to give us a double full rainbow over the trails we were taking. It was incredible! </div>

Thursday morning we headed to <a href="https://www.blackhillsbadlands.com/business/sylvan-lake-lodge-custer-state-park-resort-promoted">Lake Sylvan</a> where we planned to hike to the top of <a href="https://www.alltrails.com/trail/us/south-dakota/black-elk-peak-south-dakota-highpoint-trail">Black Elk Peak</a>. This was an easy hike when it came to a trail... very nice trail. However, this hike was 7.5 miles long and the elevation gain was over 1500 feet. It was a real challenge on the lungs at times. We had a really cool day, enough so I was cold for the first half of the hike. The peak was amazing!! Really tremendous. We went up on the trail #9 and down on the trail #4 and I would suggest that route to you as well. There was a totally different experience on the different sides of the mountain. I was a little cranky on the way up (not as fit as I would like to be)... but once I got the reward of the look out the way back down was amazing. I wish the day was warmer and we would have played in Lake Sylvan a bit. It was an amazing place to spend a whole day. Something I haven't mentioned was the picnics that we kept packing everyday. We would eat out once a day and picnic the rest. Bring a cooler and this is a great way to save some money.</div>

We took Needles Highway... That was some winding roads for these flat land, Minnesotans. There was a couple of tunnels that we had to pass through and one had goats in it that where not letting the traffic pass easily. There was quite a line waiting for the slow moving traffic to gently push the goats through. It ended up being a fun story to tell. </div>

Friday, we were off to go home. First I asked my family to stop by the <a href="https://www.chapel-in-the-hills.org/about.html">Chapel in the Hill</a> for a quick look see (pictured above). On our way there, we saw Bear Country USA. We randomly pulled in to check that out. I about choked on the price but thought... well why not. I'm SO glad we stopped. There were a ton of animals to see close up in the drive through zoo. But the Bear Cub area was by far our favorite. We watched for the longest time as the bear cubs played together and climbed trees. They are so stink'n cute! We couldn't stop laughing. </div>

We pushed through to make it all the way home on Friday. I did however talk my family into checking to see the progression on the <a href="https://www.cityartmankato.com/tours/silo-art/">silo project in Mankato</a> one more time. <a href="https://www.guidovanhelten.com/">Guido Van Helton</a> was working. I got to watch him on his lift applying the paint in such a professional way. My family went and filled up the car as I stayed and watched this master painter from below. It made my heart so happy to see Guido at work. It was a perfect book end to our family vacation. </div>

I have been working on the weekends and evenings to create a happy place to welcome guest... if we can ever have guest to our house again. I'm ready for when this COVID thing is all done. Anyway, I'm going to post on this for a couple of reasons. One, I have been posting things little by little and have been asked, where did you get... or what kind is that?? Let me try to add all the links on this post now to answer all the questions (but if I forget something, let me know :) ). Two, I want to remember what plants I bought this year and what paints I used so I can purchase the right things in the years to come. I have a really bad memory for these things.<br />
<br />
So here is the before... Nothing really wrong with it, just wanted something different.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">

I took this picture above and started designing. I wanted to explain my ideas to my husband so he could see my vision clearly. I fell in love with this first image that has a wooden deck added onto the side so we could have more room. He was fine with it as long as I didn't paint our front door pink.... it was a deal.<br />

Then he ran the numbers. He was looking into maintenance-free materials and for the price tag and how much we have traditionally used this space, it just wasn't worth it. So back to the drawing board.<br />
<br />
I thought about this idea of covering the stained and old concrete and that lead me to paint. Why don't I just paint it. So I started my research and bought some paint. The minute I picked up the paint, my neighbor who is in the trades, strongly encourage me to not use what I had bought. Mostly winter issues and how it pealing off... He gave a couple more reasons but overall, I trust the guy and sent back the paint.<br />
<br />
That put my husband on the path of researching concrete stains. We were happy to find a product from a local concrete place less than a block away (<a href="https://www.brockwhite.com/">Brock White</a>). We first used the suggested degreaser from <a href="https://prosoco.com/">Prosoco</a> and power washer. We also cleaned off the posts and took care of the chipping paint.<br />

Then we waited for low humidity, and a sunny day. I started early in the morning brushing the edges and sides of the concrete and then rolling the top services with this very strong smelling product. It's from a company called <a href="https://www.euclidchemical.com/products/decorative-products">Increte</a> and we tried to take every precaution when using it. Eye protection, tall rubber boots, plastic gloves, and well a ventilated area... All the good stuff to do this right! I applied a second coat 4 hours after the first and let it rest over night before putting anything on the concrete again. A quick sand and repaint on the column and we were done with the base of the front porch.</div>

Now to decorate. I used my good bargain deal shopping skills finding all the coupons and sales. After the number came back on the macitence-free decking materials, the prices of the accessories didn't seem that bad.<br />

Both of these rugs were bought at Wayfair. I love the <a href="https://www.wayfair.com/rugs/pdp/wrought-studio-oconee-welcome-275-in-x-275-in-outdoor-door-mat-w000532691.html">welcome mat.</a> It's really thick and I love the shape. It's a little messy dropping bits of fiber, but not really too bad. The <a href="https://www.wayfair.com/rugs/pdp/novogratz-umbria-gray-indooroutdoor-area-rug-nmom1081.html?piid=23645477">rug under</a> is right in my wheel house. I love the size for the space, and the texture. Another purchase from Wayfair was the <a href="https://www.wayfair.com/outdoor/pdp/ivy-bronx-jermaine-2-piece-metal-pot-planter-set-w001616864.html?piid=1546952886">potters by the door</a>. I was looking for something that raised the plants but also was not tippy. These are perfect, and I think they will look great in my house in the winter.<br />

The lower potter was from Goodwill... You know just one of those finds you run across at a thrift store that makes you come back for more. The little white plant was purchased because I had never seen that kind of a plant before. It's called a <a href="https://www.po.flowerscanadagrowers.com/our-products/crispy-wave-japanese-asplenium-nidus-fern">Crispy Wave or Japanese Asplenium nidus fern</a> and was purchased at <a href="https://www.homedepot.com/">Home Depot</a>. I also picked up the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crassula_ovata">Jace Cache or Crassula Ovata</a> and <a href="https://plantcaretoday.com/croton-mammy.html">Croton 'Red Mammy' or Codiaeum variegatum</a> there. The plant in the tall pot, I'm not sure what the name is, I got it from my Grandma Tweite years ago and it has had many generations of babies,<br />

Continuing with the green on the front porch, I have a table that I also bought at Goodwill that fits so nicely on the end of the couch. It holds some of the many plants I have in my classroom. It's nice to have a space outside to display them. Once I posted about the potter with the numbers, I had lot's of people ask where I bought it. That is a DIY pot and I have a <a href="https://minimatisse.blogspot.com/2011/08/house-numbers-for-our-new-home.html">previous post about how I made that</a> one. The planter place inside the pot was pre-made for me from <a href="https://www.nathes101market.com/">101 Market</a> containing <a href="https://www.provenwinners.com/plants/solenostemon/colorblaze-lime-time-coleus-solenostemon-scutellarioides">Colorblaze Lime Time</a>, <a href="https://www.provenwinners.com/plants/solenostemon/colorblaze-royale-cherry-brandy-coleus-solenostemon-scutellarioides">Colorblaze Cherry Brandy</a>, <a href="https://www.provenwinners.com/plants/sedum/proven-accents-lemon-coral-sedum-mexicanum">Proven Accents Lemon Coral</a>, <a href="https://www.provenwinners.com/plants/heuchera/dolce-silver-gumdrop-coral-bells-heuchera-hybrid">Dolce Silver Gumdrop</a>, and <a href="https://conservationgardenpark.org/plants/1383/carnival-watermelon-coral-bells/">Heuchera Carnival Watermelon Coral Bells</a>.<br />

This gal isn't done with the plants yet. This has been an ongoing and successful plant. These are called, <a href="https://davesgarden.com/guides/pf/go/2566/">Callisa Speces or Bolivian Jew or Turtle Vine, or Chain Plant, or even Inch Plant</a>. No matter what you call it, It has thrived over time in this spot. It really doesn't see any sunlight until about 2pm until 8pm. We water it often but it drains well. As you can see, I have a cord going to most of the plants. This waters the plants when the sprinklers go at 5 am every day for a couple of minutes.<br />

This is our new <a href="https://www.target.com/p/bangor-4pc-patio-sectional-charcoal---project-62--8482-/-/A-53683970?write-review=true">bench from Target</a>. It works well now but we had to do a couple of adjustments to it. The pieces are all separate so when we would sit on it they would shift and become wonky... yes, that is what I said... wonky. They do have clasps that connect the legs to each other but they would fall off. There is metal mesh in the back and on the base so we zip tied the sections together and that has worked great. The cushions on the other hand would fall off when we sat down. To combat this I used shelf liner on the base and tied the back cushion through the mesh. </div>

Now for a bit of Art! I wanted to create a space for art. I was gifted a bunch of frames once upon a time from my Aunt Jeanne and I sprayed one of them with spray paint, used 3M velcro strips and hung it on the door. Now to fill it with Art. I indulged myself one night painting picture, one after another after another. I found inspiration on instagram and <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/CAqTbxdhLUD/">all Artist were tagged on my IG post</a>. I took my favorites and ran them through a laminator and bam... I have an interchangeable frame filled with art from our home.<br />
<br />
I'm not done. I think I need some pillows and maybe a throw blanket. We have an order in for new siding to replace the damaged areas where the railing went into the side and I'm probably going to order a new light fixture. but overall... I love our new space.<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">This year was a different wrap up than any other. Usually I can give back my students work, I can have a 'fun day' in art where we are outside and creating together. We might watch a movie and clean the room together with shaving cream on the table tops. We give each other hugs and say, "We'll see you next year". </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Not this year.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">If you look at the last couple of months on this blog, you will see that my students created art at home under the idea of exploring different art careers. At the end the students were asked to submit eight different lesson. Kindergarten through second grade sent me their work using <a href="https://web.seesaw.me/">Seesaw</a> in the 'Activities' that I created for them. Third grade through fifth grade used a combination of <a href="https://info.flipgrid.com/">Flipgrid</a> and <a href="https://www.schoology.com/">Schoology</a>.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I assigned art to the 734 students of Hassan Elementary. Students started out excited to learn online. I got a lot of assignments 'turned in' to me. We all started out full of energy, the students, teachers and parents at home supporting the students. In the weeks to follow, the numbers went down. At first I was sad, I felt it was me, or my lessons. We were asked by our district to 'give grace'... 'take our lessons and cut it in half, then cut it in half again'. So, that is what I did. In my lesson options I gave lots of choice, and lot's of ways to create. But if the kids didn't open the lesson, it was never going to be attempted. Again, I was sad. These kids are missing out on such fun. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Then I did a mindset change. In fact, <a href="https://theartofeducation.edu/podcasts/a-mindset-shift-ep-142/">I did a podcast on my mindset change.</a> I decided that I was not doing these amazing lessons for the students who were choosing OR where unable to participate... rather for the kids who were excited to see what the challenge was each week. I was doing it for them. Boy, did that change things. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">So, now that we are at the end of the year and all the data was collected... What do we do with it. Our district decided that we (the specialist) did not have to grade. We were asked to share the information about performance with the homeroom teachers and they would then indicate that information to the student and families in a 5 minute Google Meet, meeting and in the written comments that took the place of grades this quarter. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">This wasn't good enough for our Specialist Team. We worked hard and had hard data to back up all the work that the students did. We came together to talk about this and decided that we would try something new. We were going to make certificates for our students. This idea was a spin-off from a Professional Learning Network I have with the Art Teachers of ISD 728. Hassan's specialist team would create a Google Sheet with all the students names on it. All seven of us would go in and mark the students who completed the lessons 70% of the time and put a check by their name. We started another Google Document, a Google Slide and each of us added a slide creating a certificate for each subject and one that was from all the Specialist. Then we used a Google Add-on in Sheets called Autocrat to populate the names of the students who did the work into the Google Slides that we created. </span></div>

K. Rowling Book.<div style="text-align: center;">
<img alt="J.K. Rowling The Ickabog Illustration Competition" height="185" src="https://www.scholastic.com/content/site/illustrationcompetition/_jcr_content/root/image_copy.coreimg.100.1285.png/1590495458671/ick-header-2560.png" width="640" /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I was so excited by the announcement of J.K. Rowling a couple days ago. She explained that she is releasing a book called The Ickabog for children who are limited by the 'Stay at Home' order. She will be releasing a chapter or two from today through June 10th on a new website dedicated to this project, <a href="https://www.theickabog.com/home/">The Ickabog</a>. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
As if that isn't exciting enough... there is an illustration challenge as well. Artist between 7 and 12 years old can create artwork and submit them to a Scholastic Sponsored Competition. Here are some of the things to keep in mind. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
</div>
<ul>
<li>You need to be between the ages of 7-12 years-old</li>
<li>Create your work on a 8 1/2 x 11" blank paper. </li>
<li>The illustration can be vertical or horizontal</li>
<li>A parent must submit the work on the <a href="https://www.scholastic.com/site/illustrationcompetition.html">website</a> by July 17</li>
<li>You must keep a portfolio (that means keep all your art for this competition) incase you win, they will need your original artwork.</li>
<li>Judges are looking for imagination, creativity, and interpretation of the selected illustration theme</li>
<li>There are awards as well... <a href="https://www.scholastic.com/site/illustrationcompetition.html">See the website for specifics</a>.</li>
<li>You can only submit one image per 'Installment'</li>
</ul>
It looks to me that an installment is based on days of the story released and the chapters. So, for this first installment, you can draw an illustration of King Fred the Fearless, or Lord Spittleworth, and so on as shown below. <a href="https://www.scholastic.com/content/dam/scholastic/site/artcompetition/Illustration-Themes_Installment_01.pdf">See all the installments here</a>.<br />

After the students turn in a lesson, I have done a quick edit and shared it on this 'Lesson Plan' Google Slide Show. Check out what we have so far from the 3rd, 4th, and 5th Grades.<br />

<div style="text-align: left;">
It's the end of the school year and we are celebrating students work in a big way at Hassan Elementary. Welcome to the digital gallery for kindergarten through second grade. Our K-2 at ISD728 uses Seesaw as a digital platform. Each frame below is linked to a Seesaw blog.</div>
<br />
<iframe allowfullscreen="true" frameborder="0" height="360" mozallowfullscreen="true" src="https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/e/2PACX-1vRzw-cMVJL0gNI91wLC3iOhj5Wtq4Vtj91FCuPKGtMPsX3zB-9z4u4vYiL-DyeMdx_9RQ7SkTmj9ya5/embed?start=false&loop=false&delayms=3000" webkitallowfullscreen="true" width="600"></iframe><br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
For a final project, students have been asked to create a tutorial to show us how to make something. I gave two options to create a tutorial and some students even created a video to share their 'lesson' with their peers. In the final week of school, Hassan students will be asked to learn from each other. They will be challenged to find a lesson that their peers have made and create something new. I really think this is a fun way to celebrate the Artists that we have at Hassan Elementary. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">

If you like this idea, feel free to use it. Below is a video that shows how I created the digital Art Show and why I created it in this way.<br />

<div style="text-align: left;">
This week YOU, Hassan Elementary students, get to become an Art Teacher!!! I'm so excited to see what you create. You will be making a tutorial... that means a lesson showing steps to create something. This could be a how-to-draw or how-to-paint, or even how to make something out of play dough. You will take pictures along the way and share them with me.<br />
<br />
We will have two weeks to work on this because the second week is a 4 day week, that is May 18-29. The last week of school you will get to see and learn from new teachers... YOU... your lessons will be the assignment for others. Isn't that going to be fun? So what are you going to teach to your friends as you become an Art Teacher???</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br />
<h2>
Kindergarten, 1st grade and 2nd grade :</h2>
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
If you are in Kindergarten through 2nd grade you will be creating your tutorial using Seesaw. <a href="https://minimatisse.blogspot.com/2020/05/become-teacher-create-tutorial-using.html">Here is the link to show you a beginner and more advance way to do this.</a> </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br />
<h2>
3rd grade, 4th grade and 5th grade</h2>

At ISD728 students Kindergarten through Second Grade use the app Seesaw. These videos are designed to help my students 'Become a Teacher' and create a tutorial to show how to draw something. In both of these videos I use <a href="https://christopherdavidryan.com/">Christopher David Ryan</a> as inspiration for my drawing. This is to do two things... show how to simplify a drawing and introduce them to a super positive living Artist! </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
This first video is designed for my Kindergarten and maybe even first grade students.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">

Some first grade students will be able to handle this more advanced version of creating a tutorial. For sure, Hassan's second grade students will be able to create a more advanced tutorial by following along with this video. </div>

For the 3rd, 4th, and 5th Grades, you will 'Become an Art Teacher' by creating a lesson that we will share to others. You will use Schoology this week to make a lesson to share. If you don't know how to find a Schoology assignment, <a href="https://youtu.be/YlyfYz3raTU">please click here</a>. If you do, watch this video to learn more about the expectations of how to edit, complete, and submit this assignment. </div>

There are four options for you to make a tutorial and 'Become a Teacher'. You can add the images of your steps on to one slide. This is the beginner level. You don't add any words, just add your photos. </div>

Level 2: You will add your images and text (or words). This will show the deeper thinking of how you would explain how to make Art to another person both with visuals (pictures) and words. </div>

Level Four: I did not talk about this option in my video because we are currently using so many different devices and it would be hard for me to explain how to add a video to a google slide. That doesn't mean you can't. If you want to take on the challenge and do some research on google to learn how to take a video, you are more than welcome to take on this advanced option.<br />
