This week, I walked through art and music classrooms, mostly in grades K-5 and would like to share some images that truly capture the work you do. Please take a look, and know that the work we do is so important TO and FOR our kids.
Ceramic piece from Ms. Gaudette's class!
Ms. P at Doran leading students in a concentric circle challenge!
Mr. Newell at Doran associating words with rhythms, and incorporating writing!
Mr. MacMullen holding a $4,000 check from the Michael Troy Foundation!
Ms. Arsenio's Design student's graphic novel work!
More Design planning...
Ms. DaCosta's artists from Viveiros casting fall shadows!
More Viveiros Art!
Viveiros Art Board with grade level expectations and vocabulary!
Viveiros artists at work!
Viveiros' Mr. Hettinger getting students ready to sing!
Look at Ms. Laginess's artists at HLCS getting their shapes ready!
Working on our cutting and dexterity skills at HLCS!
Love this bird's eye view of Ms. Arons teaching her Letourneau students how to use compliments!
Station work at Letourneau in the music room is often caught in action as Ms. Jontos is a tech/station guru!
Letourneau musicians learning more about the recorder's history through a reading and annotation task!
And this was super cool! Kids sign in and out of Ms. Jontos' room simply by scanning, typing in name, and then scanning back in!
Ms. Grinnell at Fonseca worked on city scapes using shapes with her students, and is using a resist technique!
Wait, is that Marie Cassatt with Jean Michel Basquiat? Nope, it's Heather Pereira and Barbara Mullen showing a little school spirit!
Marie also visited Janis Joplin, AKA Brenda Gaudette!
Let's DO THAT!
And these guys- what a great job they did singing, moving and following the direction of Ms. Martin at Spencer Borden while singing Bow Wow Wow song, using Solfege notation!
Ms. Murray's Band students working hard at Spencer Borden!
Ms. Pereira's artists at Silvia working on value drawings using oil pastel and some Thiebaud inspiration!
And for this one, I'm going to let you think up your own caption... Thanks Matt MacMullen and Don Smith for being such good sports!
What a wonderful week. I will be writing the learning walk report this weekend, and will share it with you all on Monday. Our work lies in continuing to develop these great engaging and challenging tasks for our kids, making sure we are scaffolding so that students can achieve that high level of work. Super good stuff- super proud of my Fine and Performing Arts Fam.
