 The "Oh, No!" bucket with the DBAE short lessons on the right. How does a TAB teacher prepare sub plans?! I have created three options for my substitutes. The seem to work pretty well depending on the situation. Here is an example of my written sub plans. Option #1: Have the kids work on their projects Essentially a TAB room can function without the teacher. Students know what is expected and what they need. I offer this option to substitutes that I know, and I usually ask them if they are comfortable with letting the students do that. I have had great feedback from the sub. Option #2: DBAE short lessons I created two sub buckets in my room. One hold these short lessons in folders. I just pull lessons and worksheets ahead of time for the sub to have. This is if I don't know the sub or if they tell me they prefer a lesson plan. Option #3: The "Oh, No!" Bucket My second bucket has emergency items in it that anyone can do with kids. Dot-to-dots, coloring sheets, etc. I have used this bucket on occasion when I needed to keep students busy for 10 minutes or other situations.

How do I introduce new materials and/or centers in the classroom?
Good things to remember:
I usually start with my objective looking something like this:
I even created a simple worksheet for older students to complete when learning new materials in the art room. I put these into their sketchbooks, so they have a reference to go back too.  I'm ready to make a big jump into QR coding my classroom. I decided to start simple. I wanted to create small explanations on how to use each center. I will use these videos to introduce centers, help new students, and reinforce artistic behaviors with younger students. I found these plastic frame at Office Depot for $2.00. I bought about 10 of them. I like them because they stand out at the center, and I can easily change them when needed. I start my year with drawing. So, I made my first video about the drawing center. When students scan in they go straight to this video. I am very excited about the possibilities that QR codes can bring into the TAB art room. I have so many ideas! More to come on this subject. |
