Holy Cow Time Flies!

I can't believe it is May already.  Here in Saskatchewan we have had flooding due to run off, a blizzard, and now lots of rain..Mother Nature is not finished with us yet.  All classes have wrapped up their Natural Environment projects and I will be posting pictures later. 
I just did a workshop with teachers on Arts Education for their professional development in a research project the University of Regina is doing with our schools.  They worked very hard on all strands of Arts Education to better understand the quality of instruction they can give.  Here is an example of their visual art experience.  We used identity as a jumping off point for idea and a black and white photograph of themselves.  It was very interesting to see what ideas they came up with in a short amount of time (20 minutes).
