Keeping Up!

Or trying to...
It's just that I now have too many websites to deal with.  Ha.
The new school website is coming along if you want to take a peek.
http://www.gtschools.k12.ia.us
There are still many inactive links where things need to be loaded or
"connected" so they appear.  There will be more downloadable forms
and documents, but I discovered that many of them must be updated
before we can load them.
The Dance Club has been practicing and will perform their pom routine
Friday February 4th during halftime of the boys game.  They are looking
great and I'm really proud of them.
I had the privilege of taking some of the Large Group Speech team to
Spencer last weekend and really enjoyed their performances.  I hope
everyone gets a chance to see the Choral Reading group.  They wrote their
own script and it's super!
The high school students have been enjoying having clay in the classroom
again.  With the help of Mr. James, we now have a kiln.  Cross your fingers
that all of our hardwork stays intact!  Wedging clay is not a favorite activity
of the kids, but it's SO necessary!  If there's an air bubble in a piece it can
destroy the pieces around it when it "explodes", so cross your fingers.  : )
Because I have updated all my Wikis I will put links to them if you wish
to visit them for information on what's happening in the classroom.
For Elementary Art go to  http://gtelementary.wikispaces.com/
for Graphic Design go to http://gthsgraphicdesign.wikispaces.com/
for Photography go to http://gthsphotography.wikispaces.com/
Advisory go to  http://farnumsadvisory.wikispaces.com/
for Art II go to http://gthsart1.wikispaces.com/

Alrighty...back to work on the website.  No rest for the wicked.

As always, I'm here if you need me!  Stop in or call!

Trying To SOT (Stay On Task)!

Ok.
So, I've really gotten behind in posting to my Blog, but that doesn't mean I've quit teaching or being completely "crazy busy".
I am going to list my classroom Wikis, so you can see exactly what's happening if I don't post here or am not as specific as you might like me to be!  (ha.)
So.
Here they are:
Art II:  http://gthsartii.wikispaces.com/
Photography:  http://gthsphotography.wikispaces.com/
Graphic Design:  http://gthsgraphicdesign.wikispaces.com/
Advisory:  http://farnumsadvisory.wikispaces.com/
"General Art Site":  http://gthsart.wikispaces.com/
Elementary Art:  http://gtelementary.wikispaces.com/

I'd also like to invite you what is going to be our new school website:
http://www.gtschools.k12.ia.us
I am working to get the site up and running and then to have students help with keeping it current and accurate!  So far it's been overwhelming and interesting...special thanks to Scott Foseen at AEA8 for all of his assistance!
