Yup, it's that time of year again! YAM! Last year I really went all out with a trivia question every day, a spirit week, and two big dress-up days. Unfortunately, this year I feel like I can't really outshine that (due to time constraints at home ;) ), but do some other exciting things instead! So, here's a sneak peek at my plans for YAM 2014!
Firstly, I'm going to do spirit days on every Monday, Wednesday and Friday of the month. Here's the calendar I just made that will be going home with every student:
Second, I'm hoping that my Art Night will make up for the lack of trivia questions this year. The 12th is our spring conferences night, and since I never have to schedule parent-teacher conferences, I figure this would be a good opportunity to get some parents involved with making art with their children. If you remember from last year, I did a similar thing with the teaching faculty during YAM. I plan on using my posters and leftover materials (the small canvases) for this art night. Generally, the spring conferences tend to have poor attendance across the board, so I will either have enough materials for who shows up, or it will help bring in more parents to school!
The 28th is going to be a big dress-up day. Last year I had great participation from faculty and students for my "dress like an artist" day, so I'm hoping for equal enthusiasm for "dress like an artwork" day! I have enough leftovers from last year to give out prizes to the best dressed students, so I'm hoping this will be some incentive to get students involved in the day!
