MLK Round 2

The art classes at MLK today did not quite go as smoothly as last time. This could be accounted for due to the fact that they just came off an unofficial snow day, were testing in the mornings for the next 3 days, and had picture day coming up. The lesson for the third graders was stellar even though the students were abnormally rowdy. It was based off the board game pictionary and was a way for the teacher to segue into the introduction of the artist Miro. While that was the main goal of the lesson it certainly was applicable to numerous other avenues of learning that were art based and beyond. For the observers it raised many opportunities to teach character and social skills amongst much more along those lines. It was also a good day to view the various classroom management skills of the teacher since it was a day of high energy and a few outside interruptions.
