Hey, I got a prompt for that. One class went for me as a teacher really. Well, teacher Fadi, I was really helpful. I'm mostly LED and did the speaking. I felt like I really had to or eight to get the kids attention but I basically utilized what they were saying and pointing out to the rest of the class, like, hey Odin made a really good point or Sarah made a really good point and who agrees with them. Yeah. Overall I think it went very smoothly as teacher. I told them the history of mon Cala and they were really receptive to the fact that we were talking about 4,000 years ago versus now and they were very smart about that. Again, question as a teacher. Yeah, large group. So it was good to have the help and like I pointed out in my first First Recording to staff members kind of were helpful in like telling kids pay attention or to listen or to not interrupt or and then I really only had like a couple kids that went off and did their own thing. And I felt like that the teachers were like kind of supportive of that I don't know those students or why. But um, That was, you know, that was fine. But I think they were actually older, more, like second grade versus the much younger kids. But, yeah, it went. Well, as a teacher and then, at the end, it occurred to us. We kind of the markers, went through the paper. So we had to clean up the tables, a little. I think that as a teacher, I know it says arrive 15 minutes early but we I arrived a little over a half an hour early and I think that was necessary for some of these classes to set things up, so you're like good to go when it starts.
Hi. This is teacher Jason, I didn't see a prompt question but I think I know what they ask, everything went really smoothly with teacher Fatiha. I'm going to send a picture of what we went through. Everything was we timed it out very well balanced. I think for the hour, that was like a big worry for me, but we broke it out into the Earth. Wind Fire segments. The kids were super Active and fun and nice. The golden five must-haves helped out. I started with the intro Alyssa that we went over about games. I use the Legend of Zelda as an example and AK video games. And you know we went around and everybody introduce themselves timely and quickly and a lot of them you know do like video games, some of them knew mon Cala I think they Hard for them to grasp mon Cala and the counting even even at their age, they're pretty young. Thank goodness, honey. And Julian and Matthew mostly Julian and Matthew. Assisted, at four different tables is kind of the largest group I ever dealt with. So without their help, it would have been maybe more chaos, but they were really helpful and in facilitating how mon Cala was played. I introduced the directions anyway, moving on to the wind segment. We did the storytelling where I asked them. Hey, it's a Saturday morning, you don't have school or any responsibilities. What would you like to do? And they had a lot of fun answers. The kind of shouted out, you know? I they did raise their hands which was really Cooperative. I think, you know, they probably learned that through the school. I didn't ask them to do that and that moved us into Mate someone made a point about their house or the community they live in. So we moved into the fire segment of the drawing and yeah, that went really well. Looks like I only have 25 seconds left and then not really a bonus activity the call and response came in handy. But we did talk about similarities, they did in their drawings, which was cool. And I just kind of yelled out. Hey, look, they have a pond, they have a ladder. Her overall, it flew by, it was really fun and thanks for the idea. Bye.

Teacher. I think it was a well-balanced. Our, I feel like some of the previous classes, maybe I planned a little too much for the time also got, you know, kind of messy with with paste and cut and pasting. So I think for the time amount, the drawing with color sprinkling of glitter, cutting things, anything that needed to be cut with an exact stuff. Exacto knife. I obviously was in charge of they the kids call it my special tool that I keep in my front pocket but um anyway some of them wanted a circle shape or a certain size so I was in charge of that and think as a teacher, I was able to move around the class and help each student well-balanced timeline. As far as that goes. Yeah. And I was able to To thank the school and say, I hope I return to that school. This stuff there is awesome, everybody's super cool, and has been really supportive and appreciative of our class. Okay. Thanks, and I hope to do another one.
Hi, this is Jason. I just wrapped up the final session of the color pop art series. The kids, the five girls that were great. I gave them a little awards for exceeding excellence and then I wrote outstanding impressions for each of them, super organized, independent worker, I'm Lee artistic and creative clever. Very clever. So talented, Etc. And then I said that they can award themselves with a canvas canvas paper. So we planned out our drawing, simple drawings, colored in with highlighter, and I said that they can sew them. It's kind of a crossover with the patch class that I did, but with color pops color. Sorry. Pop colors. And yeah, I said that their mom or dad can help them attach it to article of clothing if they want or one of the kids almost, like, do I have to put it? I was like, no, absolutely. Do not have to put it on clothing and then I was in charge of the spray fixative and then we sprinkled some gold glitter on it. So I have some photos of that and it was really good class. I'll miss those kids, they were, they were great. Super energetic. And yeah, they thank me for letting them act. Crazy unquote. Okay, bye.

Hi. This is Jason just walking out of the color pop art Series. Today was class one of two working on Shadow Boxes. Small dioramas with construction paper. I started by asking the girls maybe if they wanted to maybe pick a season and start with the season and then based on whatever color that was, how to add complementary colors to it. I have some photo examples of that a lot of cutting. Ting and gluing some kids, got one kid, got really creative and wanted to make a salad, you know, because it was in this like I found these, I got like these to go boxes that were like the perfect size so they got inspired by that but it was Q, they cut-up paper made a spring salad. Nobody did fall surprisingly. But guess that's besides the point and another girl wanted to do winter and then she's like, I want to do hot chocolate. And box. And anyway, it was a good time. Again, class flew by

Has a t-shirt today of a super energetic class of five, you know, ten being the loudest. Most energetic class today was the more of a 12 or 13, which was fun and fine. But yeah, it was particularly energetic today. Additionally, a student at one point was saying that they're not good at Art, nothing, they do is good. And this is this. Student. I was mentioning wanted to make hot chocolate and then I showed them how good their snow scene was coming out and then we worked on a penguin and we came up with some other ideas. A lot of them responded, responded to colors and how they work for a Sunset and making that gradation through different layers of color from The Horizon to higher in the sky. And then as well. As how you could use blue for grass, you know, you can start with light green, in the foreground medium, green, in the Middle Ground dark. You can go even to a blue in the background, but it'll still read is grass. Even if you pulled those colors out and described them as you know seafoam green kelly green and royal blue. Yeah, it's fun. I guess the only the only As a teacher was, and it's happened before in this class and some school. Students. Just they want little more reassurance. They step away from the table and then invite them back. Tell them how good a job they're doing. If for some reason, my first message didn't go through because I did question, one twice happy to talk about that one.
I think I'm coming back to the same question again but I do remember how these go how was I prepared as a teacher? First I want to follow up with this was class 1 of 2. So I asked the girls if they wanted to continue to work on these shadow boxes next week and they did I'm probably going to try and find Clays. They can make like little animals to put in their scenes and I'll probably grab some more boxes to in case anybody. Don't start start over. I have a feeling some of them just may want to do that.

Hi, answering the next question. How did class go for me as a teacher as I kind of touched on? They're very energetic Lively group of young girls and they you know, they they like to draw on me with markers and stuff. So it's kind of like it's a mix between having fun and also you know, reminding them the rules. Of the classroom respecting the teacher Etc. I mean, nothing's really bad. Ever is just, you know, they like to have fun in that way and it is a good time. It is fun. But again I have to sometimes say okay that's enough drawing on the teacher. Okay, thanks, bye.
Hi, this is mr. Jason trying, the audio recap of my color art series with first and second graders at s.f. Day School on Golden Gate Avenue today. They've been doing pixel art a lot and really enjoying that before the spring break happened, I brought in construction paper as I proposed in my class, you know, my plans for this class and they really just wanted to continue with the pixel art, but they were open to trying the construction paper building complementary colors Etc, next week and then finishing with shadow boxes, which I explained I could bring in the, the shadow boxes and we could build scenes with Their favorite color and then talked about the complementary color, that could be used in the scene. Yeah, it's our always goes by really fast, they're very energetic. Small group only 5 students today, so they have a good time and they're creative. And yeah, it's just keeping them occupied and trying to keep them at the table as a group. But yeah, always. Always a good time. So that's my recap. I hope this audio submission Works.

Yes, I'm sure. You know, it's about 80 degrees today. So everybody was very vibrant, very vibrant class today. They're very engaged at the table more. So than previous classes, I feel like somewhere around the 45-minute Mark they like to get up and kind of run around and sing they were into telling jokes today. Day. Which was fun at one point one of the students was like can I tell an inappropriate joke? I was like absolutely not will tell fun nice jokes but we certainly don't like or want to tell anything inappropriate. That's no good. That's no fun, that's no good. But yet they're, you know, sweet kids. We had a fun class, you know, their particular different personalities. Stand out. Each time and it's always a good time.
Hi, this is Jason, just doing my recap on what we worked on today. In the color, pop art series, the students, all the girls, they wanted to do the pixel art again and I kind of pushed towards the cardboard cutouts and creating kind of a diorama. They came up with the idea of doing, like a bedroom or like a setup, and I'm brought colourful papers that were different. Turns kind of textile papers. So they were cutting that out with the safe scissors provided in the art room and yeah, it went really well. I have a photo of a really cute one, one of the students Maddie made, but everybody kind of made something similar. And we're going to do more color complementary color diorama next week and I figured The final class I'll bring the shadow boxes like a boxes for them to decorate.
