The number one rule of teaching is.....learn their names, learn their names, learn their names!! Which isn't too difficult if you have a class of 20-30 kids. However, Art Teachers, and other Encore Staff have literally hundreds of students! Not to mention-the kids tend to "change" or grow up a little over summer break. This year I had one student that I have known for several years cut 24 inches off of her hair, get glasses and grow (at least) 2 inches over the summer. On the first day of school I had no idea who she was-even though last school year I had spent many class periods sitting next to her- she always chose the seat closest to me!
Over the years I have created or "borrowed" many different projects that center around the student's names. Since I always want them to be learning something, I have modified or changed these projects to emphasis something about the art world. My 2nd graders project focusses on warm and cool colors.
