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!
