I'm Kelsey, an Art Educator for the DeForest Area School District in beautiful DeForest, Wisconsin just outside of Madison. The 2017-2018 school year will be my fifth as a full time Art Educator. This will be my third year in DeForest. Before working for DeForest, I worked for the Stevens Point Area School District for two years. I attended the University of Wisconsin-Oshkosh where I received a Bachelor of Fine Arts and my education degree.
I will be starting the school year teaching at two K-4 elementary schools in the district, all of Yahara Elementary and our itty bitty country school Morrisonville. This is my awesome Elementary Art Team.

I have being going through your blog on and off all day. I am a 3rd year art teacher as well. I just love how thorough your lessons are. May I use some of them for my classes? Congrats on being superb at putting lessons together!!

Thanks so much Lana. So much of what I do with my students comes from looking at blogs and expanding on the things I see other teachers doing. Absolutely use them, and feel free to change them as much as you want!
DeleteKelsey,
ReplyDeleteI'm looking at your If the Dinosaurs came back project. Looks great, and I plan to use with my first graders. I was not clear about your tip to make the project a success: "I had a few pictures of dinosaurs on my SMART Board and had students come up and draw the shapes they saw over the top of the dinosaurs". Did you have pictures from the back of the book, or "real" dinosaurs? Can you also clarify what you mean by they came up to draw shapes "over the top of?" the dinosaurs. Seems important, but not sure what you mean. Can you please step me through t? Thanks, Andi, Palo Alto
Hi Iove you website and art! I am wondering why some of the pictures are blank and I see a construction cone there instead?
ReplyDeleteThanks for helping!
