New Years Art Room Resolutions??

Hey gang!  Sorry no posting the past couple weeks, but we've been on Christmas break!! 
Back to work Monday..so hopefully will post some by the end of the week.  Until then....I was wondering if any of you have Art Room Resolutions??  What changes are you going to make in 2011 when it comes to your lessons, room, classroom management, organization..etc?!?! 
I have several new lessons I want to try out 2nd semester(a few I've gotten from our amazing online community!).  I'm also going to start preparing for our spring art show.  This year the theme will be Out of This World Art!  Everything is going to be alien/outer space themed.  I've never done that much art around such a topic...but it should be fun!  I'm also going to be getting practicum students for the first time.  One of the professors from the university that usually sends me student teachers(where my last one was from) asked if I'd be willing to take practicum students this spring.  Yet another new & neat experience to look forward to in 2011!

  1. Sounds like a lot of fun is coming to your classroom. Can't wait for you to share your projects. Happy New Year!

  2. Organization!! I have a few students who want to empty my large storage closet and re-organize it with me. Hope to have that done by the end of January. Also am going to start making a notebook with my lesson plans and how each project corresponds with the curriculum.

  3. i want to focus on having more fun in class. our county has all new curriculum standards this year and every lesson had to be rearranged and rewritten, sucking the fun out of my presentation. so, although i am glad to have created a fresh new set of updated lessons, i want to be a little less "serious business" and have a few more laughs.

  4. My big resolution - to actually leave school while it is still light outside and make time for a pit stop at the gym. Gotta stay fit! Too often I'm the last person in the building - just me and the night custodian, and Im going to try harder not to stay hours and hours after the end of the school day.
