My deep appreciation for Macdonald and the maintenance team for managing the campus during the holiday and to Karishma, Teri, Temi, Elo, Shaun, and Chinyere for going well beyond the call of duty. .

And special thanks to Sean, Melissa, John, David, and Robby for dedicating all of their summer holiday to preparing for the reopening of AISL and to Eric R for volunteering to serve on the Campus Reopening Task Force.

How do we maintain the spirit and importance of Nigerian Culture Day throughout the year? How do I provide students with the necessary supplies in order for them to truly engage in a study of Nigerian art and design? NCD may seem like it is months away but for the art room it has always been our first unit of study and we spend two months preparing student projects. I hope I can transfer this important unit to remote learning.

I hope that our students and all our AISL families are resilient and that as a community we make the very best of the circumstances during remote learning and beyond this year to make it truly extraordinary and memorable.

I also hope that we, teachers, are able to establish strong relationships via the screen with students and help students build the same with fellow students so that we can all feel deeply connected and strong as a community.

How to continue to build choice and artistic behaviors into the art curriculum. Since we are not in the art room we are very limited in terms of supplies. Some students only show up to zoom with just a pencil and paper. I want to make sure kiddos are continuing to develop as artists and not just following along and copying what I am doing in the synchronous sessions.
