I think the only thing I have left to work on until school starts are little art games for when I have students finish early. (Paint chip games, sorting games, matching games, etc.)
My sink area...I taped various brush posters around the sinks. Not sure they will last long, especially the one taped on the counter, but we'll see! I also decided to move my dish rack from the back counter where my taller sink is to the shorter sinks. Students always stacked the cleaned, wet paint palettes on the counters instead of walking around to put them in the rack.
My Artist of the Week bulletin board! I used some cool tie-dyed duct tape to hang the black paper so I wouldn't have to lose any of my bulletin board space to hang artwork. I also wrote each homeroom teacher's name and grade along the bottom of each paint can so everyone knows which class the artists come from!
Finished my classroom management chalkboard...I created six jobs to rotate the tables through. I also printed off three of each chore because when we use clay, for example, no one is allowed to touch another's clay piece and EVERYONE has to help wash and dry tables. This way, I can assign 3 tables to wash and 3 tables to dry. (I attached these to my board using Velcro with a sticky back.) I also added the art noise meter I found floating around on Pinterest and the "Show Me the Mona Lisa" poster with my Garfield parody!
Everything looks great! I go back next week also. I just thought about everything I need to get done in my house before school starts and I am getting a headache thinking about it! Enjoy your last week! I am going to try and enjoy mine! :)
