Ideas and Thoughts to Engage Your School Community by Danielle O'Connell https://padlet.com/doconnell27/szw856gzec6fs56k What events have you done at your school? Are there ideas from today that you feel you can implement in your situation? Can you think of any stations that would be easy to implement at a Dot Day style event? en-us 2022-11-03 02:49:13 UTC 2022-11-08 16:42:01 UTC hello@padlet.com https://padlet.net/icons/png/1f3a8.png Future Dot Day idea? doconnell27 https://padlet.com/doconnell27/szw856gzec6fs56k/wish/2371422554 This fall we went to an event where oversized tennis balls attached to handles were being used to stamp dots onto a large canvas. I'd love to look into getting some donations so we could do this at Dot Day in the future!]]> 2022-11-06 02:58:15 UTC https://padlet.com/doconnell27/szw856gzec6fs56k/wish/2371422554 We all appreciate that these events help us advocate for the arts https://padlet.com/doconnell27/szw856gzec6fs56k/wish/2375277804 2022-11-08 16:11:34 UTC https://padlet.com/doconnell27/szw856gzec6fs56k/wish/2375277804 The yarn wrapping would be great to do with my middle school students. Love those pom poms hanging from the tree. anutting6 https://padlet.com/doconnell27/szw856gzec6fs56k/wish/2375282106 2022-11-08 16:13:58 UTC https://padlet.com/doconnell27/szw856gzec6fs56k/wish/2375282106 I would love to have an open art week where parents would be able to come into class when their student is in! https://padlet.com/doconnell27/szw856gzec6fs56k/wish/2375282355 2022-11-08 16:14:07 UTC https://padlet.com/doconnell27/szw856gzec6fs56k/wish/2375282355 Incorporating Art in Biology https://padlet.com/doconnell27/szw856gzec6fs56k/wish/2375287709 I’ve done basic diagrams for the kids to color in, however I’ve been wanting to incorporate legos into class. For example, constructing DNA & RNA structures or even making different biomes out of legos!

Its a great way to extend art education outside the classroom and using special themed days (such as Dot Day) is super cool! Also, the use of simple materials to minimize messiness and maximize participation is a plus. https://padlet.com/doconnell27/szw856gzec6fs56k/wish/2375288089 2022-11-08 16:17:15 UTC https://padlet.com/doconnell27/szw856gzec6fs56k/wish/2375288089 https://padlet.com/doconnell27/szw856gzec6fs56k/wish/2375291502 Maybe creating a station that incorporates pointillism while teaching the kids about the movement. ]]> 2022-11-08 16:19:10 UTC https://padlet.com/doconnell27/szw856gzec6fs56k/wish/2375291502 I love the idea of a table for PTC! I normally do hide out in my class! https://padlet.com/doconnell27/szw856gzec6fs56k/wish/2375311156 2022-11-08 16:30:02 UTC https://padlet.com/doconnell27/szw856gzec6fs56k/wish/2375311156 District Art Show portoj https://padlet.com/doconnell27/szw856gzec6fs56k/wish/2375332130 In Chelsea we have a district art show in the Spring. I love the fan mail activity. We try to have a few students creating art tables during the opening. ]]> 2022-11-08 16:42:01 UTC https://padlet.com/doconnell27/szw856gzec6fs56k/wish/2375332130
