Mrs. Munk's Time Telling Sheet - Google Docs

Go here to see the Time Telling Sheet!

Proposed Project Summary
My students will print the google docs sheet off at home and mark what time they do certain activities. They will mark time using analog and digital clocks, marking AM or PM. The students will then write about one of their favorite family activities and mark the time it happens. They will return their sheets in class and we will collect and make a book from their favorite activities. Once the sheet is filled out, students will create a documentary of their favorite family activity; they will take pictures of their family activity, create a movie and present it in class. 

What is the BIG idea I want my students to walk away with?
I want my students to have better understanding of telling time and see that it applies to their life. 

Statement of Need (Why does this project need to be done)
Telling time is an essential skill needed in life and this activity will help my students break down telling time in a way they can relate to and will remember.

Mrs. Munk's Pointillism Project - Glogster

Go here to see Mrs. Munk's Pointillism Project!


Proposed Project Summary
My students will learn about the art technique of pointillism through viewing my glogster presentation. They will learn who created the technique, see examples of artwork, and view a video of how to create value using pointillism. After the presentation, they will choose a piece of work they would like to do using pointillism and work on creating it. Once finished,we will display their artwork in the school hallways for other students and parents to see. 

What is the BIG idea I want my students to walk away with?
I want my students to understand what pointillism is and how to implement use it in their artwork. They will also see how to add value to their works and be able to create the picture they see in their minds. 

Statement of Need (Why does this project need to be done)
This will help my students break down the artistic process by understanding color and value and how they work together. By letting them choose a project to do using pointillism, they will have a chance to tap into their creativity.
