This year students in grades 6th-8th grade will have a BLOCK period of art. Instead of having 45 minutes of art every week, students will rotate every other week and have art for 90 minutes of art every two weeks.
The reason for this change is to allow us to have more time to do ceramic and painting projects. Instead of coming in, getting the materials, working for 30 minutes, and then cleaning up, now students will have almost a full 90 minutes to work on projects continuously.
The reception from students today was almost unanimous. Almost everyone LOVED the new block period of Art. The flow was much more relaxed and we were able to dive a bit deeper into the projects as we had more time to do so.
Students that are not in Art will be in Spanish class where they will use the block period for conversational Spanish and language lab.
So hopefully, this will work out for the best and if not, we can reassess at the end of the school year. But so far, so good!!!!!!
