Who Is Bart the Art Cart? Why Do We Need Him?

Multiple Choice

Why do teachers have carts this year?

Pick one or the other:

• To be annoying!

• To keep students safe by limiting the spread of germs and allowing for social distancing!

Bart the Art Cart Will Bring Some Changes:

• Our classroom will be on wheels this year, to lessen the spread of Covid at school!

• You will get art supplies that are yours, and yours only!

• We are not to share art supplies this year. (ew, germs!)

Poll

Why can't we share our art supplies this year?

• Sharing would spread germs, and possibly get our friends sick!

• Ms. Cutter is mean

So.... why must we be so strict on cleanliness this year?

• Covid-19 is easy to spread, even on paint brushes and art supplies!

• Keeping your materials to yourself will limit the spread. Let's take a closer look in the next video clip....

Multiple Select

To keep our friends safe at school, we should:

• Wear A Mask

• Keep Our Distance

• Sanitize Our Hands

• Wear A Mask the Right Way

Is this student wearing a mask the right way? Why or why not?

Open Ended

So..... how do we stop the spread at school? Let's watch one last video clip for a hint:

What do you think the school year will be like with the new safety measures in place?

Raise your hand to discuss!

ART BREAK!!

• You will create a drawing in 4 parts (4 Square) drawing your favorite parts of summer or quaratine!

• The crayons you get will be yours for the year, so treat them well!

Share your drawing with the class, if you'd like to share!

This Year We Will...

• Have Fun!

• Create New Art

• Make Work You're Proud Of

• Learn Art History

• Create Sculptures

• Respect Our Classmates

• Be Safe, Kind, and Creative!

Art Room Behavior + Contract

Everyone will get an art room behavior contract at the end of class, that they are to read over with their family, and sign and return by class next Tuesday. 

When it is returned with your signature, and your parent's, you will get 10 points to go towards your art grade!

Noise Level In Art This Year

• Because we are not in the art room, we must be respectful of all of the classes around us. 

• When the clip is on RED, that means we must STOP talking.

• If the clip is on YELLOW, that means we can quietly chat with those around us.

• If the clip is on GREEN, we may talk openly and at a quiet level.

Art Room Behavior

• If the class is following directions, but one person causes the clip to be moved from RED, I will write down the student's name on the board who is disrupting the class.

• Because we must stay safely in our seats, wear our masks safely, and not disturb classes around us, we must be extra respectful this year. If your name is on the board, and I add 2 checks to it by the end of class, you will be sent to Mr. Penrod's office, and we will call home.

End of Class Game

First, clean-up your desk. 
Next, write your name on your drawing.
Now, I'll pass out your behavior contract before we end class with a game!

Closing Time

Let's Play a Game!
