I stay away from crayons as a medium in art class because they are so common for elementary students. We dove “all in” with nothing but crayon for these Earth Day illustrations however, and they are too charming! Based off the story “How the Crayons Saved the Earth. #MESRocks

We read The Greedy Python before making these cutie painted paper snakes. Watch out, they may try to kiss you with their little pink tongues. #kindergartenart #MESRocks

“What if, instead of building infrastructures for assessment in our schools, we also built infrastructures for creativity? Where students not only show us what they know, but also show us what they can do?” ~GAEL Winter Conference

Batik Bugs with 3rd grade. This was our first time trying this, and we LOVED it. We used Elmers glue to resist the pigment instead of wax. Same effect. #MESRocks

The Superintendent’s Teacher Advisory Council (TAC) is at it again! 🙌
This time we reviewed the Georgia LEADS teacher evaluation pilot program. Thankful for teachers boldly sharing pain points to strengthen our profession. ❤️

My sister and I led fellow educators in an Arts Integration Bryan County Schools-PL session today. We made process art, discussed various aspects of making the arts applicable in ANY CLASSROOM, and we wrapped with making collages that told our personal story. #MESRocks Bryan County Schools

We read THE COLOR MONSTER and made painted paper monsters of our own. I always love how this lesson turns out. Last pic - she made an homage to SCRAPPY, my trash can. Notice, his iPhone accessory. Made by another student. 🥰😆🎨 #MESRocks
