What a busy first few weeks!

Grades 1 & 2 are working on colours and farm drama.  All other grades are working on colour and protests.  Look for upcoming drama and dance class videos. Mrs. Kitch

Back at it!

Okay, I really will update this more this school year!!!
Glad to be back, watch for these exciting things this school year:
CLUB M.A.D
Remebrance Day surprise
Robo Identity
New Choice centers (puppets, fashion, firing clay)
Christmas Concert Musical

Construction Center

The construction center opened as a choice in January and once the procedures for work was established students went straight to work.  Grade Sixes created structures that represented parts of the cultural identity, Grade Fours created Boreal Forest dioramas, and Grade Threes made things that inspired them from the constructed Environment.

No Luck with Videos

I am not having good luck posting videos to this blog.  I tried to post my groups PLACE video twice and the Grade 601 Monster Mashup dance and both come back with errors.  I am hoping to figure out the glitch and get those posted soon.

Wow, what a week!  PLACE (Proffessional Learning Across Community Experience) from the University of Regina had its finale today.  3 Days of Arts Integration and Exploration of our community culminated into this afternoon's performances.  Everything from soundscapes to martial arts inspired dances were performed for Davison and Miller school audiences.  I am so proud of this project and after 7 years, hope that it still continues.  The students, pre-interns, and staff all benefit in different ways throughout this project.  My group explored the heritage museum and created a video showcasing their learnings.

PLACEment

It has been a busy week.  Our University of Regina Pre-Interns spent the week around Davison honing their teaching skills and filling our classrooms with innovative arts ed. lessons.  It is always such a rewarding experience for both staff and students during this week.  In the Art room, students created pop art, community creatures, Saskatchewan landscapes, and rhythm patterns.
Miss Becker and Mr. Eberts will be back with Mrs. Kitch for PLACE, along with the rest of the pre-interns, in November 14-16.

Meet the Teacher Night

I invite all families to be sure to check out the art room and say hi to me on September 18th at 6:45p.m.  I will be avaliable to show our school community what's happening in our Arts Education program.
