Final fall was a doozy. Teams of scholars out and in of quarantine. My two older children in class had been each quarantined at completely different instances so I taught remotely greater than as soon as. I had a big eighth grade class for the scale of my room which made social distancing unimaginable although we did our greatest with sneeze guards, assigned seats, sanitization of tables, and particular person provide baggage. College students did a number of drawing as a result of I used to be by no means capable of get an order of watercolor in and my trays got to the highschool college students. Lastly on the finish of the semester we did a collage challenge, which the scholars completed whereas I used to be as soon as once more instructing remotely!

I discovered that college students wanted extra structured decisions than in earlier years so we went with the theme of animals since everybody loves animals! That is the slides presentation I made to introduce collage and present completely different types.

The scholars had a number of completely different papers to make the most of of their initiatives. There have been development paper and painted paper scraps, magazines, and an enormous stack of scrapbook paper that was donated. The scrapbook paper had a number of texture and patterns so it was a pleasant addition.

I used to be so happy with how the animal collages turned out, and although I did not get to work together with the scholars so much whereas they had been ending up, I am positive they needed to be happy with their work too!
