I spoke at the school board meeting tonight on behalf of the district art department. They have delegated art teachers' scheduling to someone with no experience or interest in the job and so our schedules suck for next year. As it stands, I'll be traveling between three schools each week. Everybody in the department has serious concerns about the scheduling, but no one was willing to speak- I mean everyone said they were scared of speaking. Once again, thank you YOU. Give me a mic and I'm a regular show pony! Before YOU I was very, very shy. now not.
I am digging deep to finish this school year strong. I really don't want it all to peter out, but it's hard not to set my focus on the summer.... I've got to come up with some fun stuff with which my students can finish up the year. What were your favorites?
I'm looking forward to hearing your assignment story. Mine is sort of funny too- I said I was going to get the scanner from Jim's Dad and then I forgot. Instead he brought it over last night, out of the blue. Check that off my list...!
Special thanks to...
