My Classroom

In my classroom I have clear expectations of the students. We follow our school rules along with my Art Smart Rules. Respect is a big theme in our room whether it is for the teacher, other students, ourselves or the art materials. Students are always expected to try and they know that mistakes are welcomed in my room! Mistakes help us grow and I much rather someone try and make many mistakes than not try at all. Sometimes our mind says we can't do something but we have to let our hands try. Our hands know a lot of stuff and they like to learn! I am known as the Happy Mistake Queen. My superpower is making a mistake a happy mistake. I try to teach my students this superpower so they can have it too! Great behavior is rewarded with more choices for our free art days we have about every quarter. I love seeing all my artists create!
