Yesterday, I met the teacher I will be student teaching with after spring break.  She seems great!  I will be teaching Photo I, sculpture, ceramics and jewelry.  I am a 2D person, so it will be good to get experience in all of these 3D subjects.  However, I don't really know how to go about planning lessons for these subjects that I don't know too much about. If you have any ideas or favorite sculptors let me know.

The elementary teacher I'm with now is a good teacher, but very disorganized.  She even admits to hoarding and a lack of ability to organize things. My first week, she did a lot of lessons in a spur-of-the-moment fashion.  Needless to say, I cannot teach lessons that way (maybe after a few years of experience I will be able to).  I am learning a lot though, elementary lessons are fun to plan. I just started a clay monster lesson with 3rd graders, and we prepared by listening to In the Hall of the Mountain King and prowling/hopping/sneaking about the room acting like monsters, a.k.a. awesomeness.  Sixth graders just made clay superheroes which turned out great as well.

I can't wait to have my own classroom!

Having clean laundry is like Christmas!

It's all folded into beautiful piles, and it's like you have all new clothes, except you don't have to try them on again, and you like all of them!

Bonus points for being warm when the come out of the dryer.
