This is what a professional development day for ART teachers looks like! We had a great morning talking about our art purchases, classroom organization, community resources and much more, including the Iowa Core Curriculum (if any administrators are reading this). It is such an energizing way to spend time. The ART teachers in the Waterloo School District are a wealth of knowledge, dedicated to teaching and art, and they are fun too. After a delicious and perfectly timed lunch, we went back to the meeting and had an afternoon of papermaking. This was not only fun, it was a chance to use a try and practice the traveling kit we purchased with our funds last year. Every time I meet with this bunch, I am excited to get back to my room and implement something we talked about. Now, who can I get to come to my class and help with papermaking??? I hope the kids had a good day off. The ART teachers had a good day too!
