It’s that time of year again: This is a list of supplies for my classroom and me personally that would I would love help purchasing. THANK YOU as always! amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls…
Yesterday I had the honor of a lifetime & was chosen as Pembroke Meadows’ Teacher of the Year! I’m still pretty shocked, but I also know I’ve put my heart and soul into my students and profession the last few years. This truly is the best job in the world! @pmesvb
There’s nothing better than adorable elephants created by #Kartists & inspired by the book Elmer! They’ve worked so hard over the last few classes to draw new shapes & persevere even when they struggled. Now their elephants are all ready for the Elmer’s Day parade! @pmesvb
#5thGradeArtists have been working on symmetrical & asymmetrical face collages for a few classes, and the process has really clicked in place this week! Some Ss even put spooky season vibes into their artwork! 🎃💀👻 @pmesvb @Tajkirsch @kristaclark692
#3rdGradeArtists turned their still lifes into Cubist works of art by cutting their objects and rearranging them so that multiple viewpoints can be seen at once! They did a great job of brainstorming objects and gluing them in creative ways. @pmesvb @Tajkirsch @kristaclark692
#3rdGradeArtists are working on their still life collages! They have learned about the criteria for still life arrangements and the history of the genre. Stay tuned, because the final artwork will be getting a Cubist makeover next week! @pmesvb @Tajkirsch @kristaclark692
#1stGradeArtists have their shape & line drawings inspired by Jackson Pollock on display! We discussed appropriate craftsmanship, space, & abstract expressionism with this project. Ss learned how to frame their own pictures, & did a great job! @pmesvb @Tajkirsch @kristaclark692
The Dot Day mural is on the move! A section of our school-wide mural is now on display at the VBCPS School Administration Building throughout the month of October. @pmesvb @Tajkirsch @kristaclark692 @VBCPSVisualArt #DotDay #InternationalDotDay
Last week I attended my first session with the VB Aspiring Leaders cohort, & I’m so excited to see where it leads my teaching career! #AspiringLeaders @pmesvb @PGIVBCPS @Tajkirsch @kristaclark692
I had a great time working with @TidewaterVAEA to host our Fall Workshop at The Garage Creative Space in the VIBE district of Virginia Beach this weekend! We learned how to create cyanotype prints with different materials using a variety of supplies on a gorgeous sunny morning.
In June, #5thGradeArtists helped me create “Round of Applause” mural for the 50th annual @NeptuneFestival this weekend! Our entry is on display at the Virginia Beach Boardwalk at the 23rd Street entrance. @pmesvb @VBCPSVisualArt @kristaclark692 @Tajkirsch
Happy International Dot Day! Every student created a dot during art class & “made their mark!” Our finished mural is on display outside of the cafeteria. I’m so proud of how this project turned out! #DotDay #InternationalDotDay @PMESVB @VBCPSVisualArt @Tajkirsch @kristaclark692
This year’s showcase: Our PMES theme is “Better Together,” & in the art room what’s better than a rainbow of colors together?! I paired colorful banners with books on togetherness & art, I think this is one of my most successful showcases! @pmesvb @Tajkirsch @kristaclark692
I changed my first day of art lesson so that all Ss are creating a dot drawing inspired by Peter Reynold’s The Dot! (Shout out to the music teacher for CDs to reuse!) Next up: displaying all 450+ of them for #DotDay on September 15ish. @pmesvb @Tajkirsch @kristaclark692
Worked on the puzzles for 3-5th at the kitchen table. I use these for classroom management & PBIS. Ss love getting a chance to color the puzzle piece, hear their class on the morning news, & the Game Day reward they earn with a finished puzzle! @pmesvb @kristaclark692 @Tajkirsch
The day I’ve dreamed of my entire teaching career finally happened: I have both of my children in my school with me for the 1st time! Kindergarten for Katie, 3rd for Brooklyn, year 20 in elementary art for me, & year 6 at @pmesvb! 💙🐾🤍@Tajkirsch @kristaclark692 @VBCPSVisualArt
The art dept met at The Brock Environmental Center: it was a beautiful & inspiring place to learn about how to incorporate nature & science into our lessons. Humbled to live & work where opportunities like this & the wonders of nature are in our backyard! @VBCPSVisualArt @pmesvb
Welp summer is over & it’s pre-service week, & what better way to kick it off than coffee delivered to the front of the school?! Buzz Stop is run by a great family at our school. This iced matcha with a little vanilla was I’ve ever had! Catch them around town! @pmesvb
I enlisted some of our talented #5thGradeArtists to help create our “Round of Applause” mural for the Neptune Festival this fall. They did a fantastic job, and I’m excited to see it displayed for the public in a few months! @Tajkirsch @kristaclark692 @pmesvb #NeptuneFestival
Year 19 is DONE! (Year 5 at the Meadows & 6 in VBCPS!) WHAT. A. YEAR! I’m looking forward to much needed rest! And Ducky Warhol (a treat from our fun loving admin) will be accompanying me for summertime adventures! Obligatory packed up classroom selfie: ✅ #DuckyWarhol @PMESVB
