The “I love you” note yesterday from a second grade boy, a fifth grader singing Billy Jean today (I told him I was impressed that he knew Michael Jackson), a second grade boy TODAY telling me that half of the boys in their class think that I’m hot, and a second grade boy proposing to me. Oh, second grade boys… Hahahaa!! Also, since so many people like my Hawaii pictures,...

Slowly updating my website, adding more information, adding more work. I’m figuring out how to organize things better, how to title the images. It’s a slow process, but I’m getting there… www.nicoledrummond.com

Secondary Unit
This was taught to a group of 7th & 8th grade boys in a history class. The school we taught at separates boys and girls, and groups them 5th/6th grade and 7th/8th. Class sizes are around 12 students! They were learning about the Civil War in their class, so myself along with 2 other girls did a printmaking unit. We based it off of the idea of stamps— both the Stamp Act as well as postage...

Revised Student Teaching Plan
It has stayed more or less the same, with some rearranging… and then I’ve fleshed out each unit a ton more— planning vocabulary, breaking them down into the lessons, assessments, etc. I will post tons of details as I’m teaching them over the next few weeks! But here is the update! Kindergarten- Pinch pots, talking about Native American pottery 1st- Eric Carle prepared...

FYI
Now that I’m gathering my art to put on my website (currently it only has drawings and paintings— and I need to add more of those!), I have it in one location on my desktop. I still need more photos of older works, but I have them mostly together. This means I am starting a HUGE QUEUE of posts of my artwork! One a day for the next 3 weeks, at least. Get excited. :)

Elementary Unit
This is a unit I taught along with 2 other girls in September/October. These students do NOT have an art class normally, so while they were in 3rd grade, they are not as advanced visually as students would be if they had art on a regular basis. With this unit we had to have a literacy connection, we did a mixed fall setting. The literacy connection being that we were creating a setting with...

I have a website!!
Of course I will still update this, since blogging is easier to add to. It is nice to have a website where I can post all of my work where it is easy to see at once! The exhibition I am in will be having catalogues of all of the artists— bios, contact information, websites. So I’m trying to get this site done before the 20th! That way people can come in, view my site, and maybe...

Student Teaching Ideas
Suggestions/thoughts from any current teachers/artists are welcome! A lot of these are vague, some more so than others. In elementary, I’ll start teaching just one grade, then each week pick up another, and I’m not sure which ones I’ll have the longest, or what the mentor teacher has been doing with them. So some of these might change! Here are my ideas so far. Any/all...
