Digital painting—- the digital palette kids took a b/w photo and colored it in using different brush settings, layers, layer settings and opacities.

Some of them (like this one!) turned out so incredibly well! I’m so proud of these kids! :)

(and the fact that I get to teach 7th graders photoshop is really awesome too!)

These cities look AWESOME! So proud!

Made of papier mâché! They took three weeks! A week of armature building, week of papier mâché and a week of painting. So worth it!

Two of my favorite cities so far. (Ironically, both of these are not quite cities, but homes in the country.)

Handouts and a quiz for my current 6th grade unit. (papier mâché cities!) 

Hooray for different types of summative and formative assessments!

One day last week as a drill I had my 6th graders draw my cat (I put a picture up on the smart board.)

They are too perfect. This one was my favorite!!!!

“Education- a candle in a world of darkness and monsters.”

I want to cry right now I am so touched.

Got a job over the summer at a camp! I get to work with kids all summer then FOR THE REST OF MY LIFE! I am so excited!!!!! :)

Teachers- what are some good “what to do when you’re done” assignments? Some students always finish super early, and you can only extend assignments so much.

This could be in an art classroom, language arts, or really anything! Any grade level!

What works well in your classroom? What do the students seem to enjoy?
