Our goal for week 2 was to get used to the classroom routines, how to use a pencil correctly and practice their line work on paper, and have fun while doing it. There were a few ups and downs, however in the end the students did well! Everything from lining up, helping to clean the classroom and after themselves has improved greatly from the 1st week.
During the 2nd week we had an art class where they had the opportunity to paint whatever they wanted. After, I put it up on the wall in the hallway. I know many of you were able to see their artwork. The goal of it was to imagine being in an art gallery and pretend. To go around and see the artwork but also ask about what they drew, and what other students saw in the artwork. It was a good exercise, I wanted them to name their artwork but many students could not think of a name for their artwork.
In the future I would like to revisit this and see what else they can paint later on.
These students have been together in a class for several years, and it shows. Sometimes they get frustrated with each other, but other times they work very well together. This week was a lesson in caring for eachother, and working together. Here are some photos of their progress.
And lastly, the students had a fun time in Japanese class, learning to make Origami flowers, with Ms Hisako.
In conclusion it was a fun week! I look forward to week 3!
