MAN, were we busy this week!
With the start of a new semester, most of us welcomed new "class-fulls" of kids into our learning environments! This meant resetting expectations for learning, behavior and general rituals and routine work. Congrats to all of you who made it through and still have a beautiful singing voice.. even if it's only in the car hahahaha...
We are HALF WAY TO SUMMER! Let's GO!
We closed the week in true FRPS Fine and Performing Arts fashion- with some really fun, and meaningful PD time with each other. It's always great to see the teams working together, and I love hearing snippets of conversations around planning how this that we are "doing" in PD would work in your worlds. I am sharing all of the PD documents and presentations in the weekly email so you have them.
Today, WE:

Today, WE:
- Created art inspired by Frida Kahlo using new media
- Used FlipGrid to learn how to implement it as an assessment tool
- Chatted on how to make the Arts Expo work simpler and shared tips and tricks for preparing student work
- Used Google Arts and Culture to introduce to students so they can see art up close and closely "read" what they see using tech
- Planned for Fall River's 5th
- Planned for Solo Fest and All City Band and Orchestra
Here are a few pics from the day!
I LOVE THIS SMILE.
It tells me I did my job today, and that was to provide my teachers with a little time to experiment, to collaborate, to laugh and to PLAY together.
Have a wonderful weekend,
and let's go, Jimmy G!
