Place your Completed Exit Ticket Here!

I collect the Exit Tickets daily and write comments, then I give my students an Emoji sticker, stating how I feel they did on the lesson and place it in their mailbox.  This is also a great way to collect data and your students will love it.

A fun modern innovative way for students to go when they are done with their projects and reflect on the lesson. Students go to the Exit Table and fill out their Tickets before leaving class. they can also play an Emoji memory game, Emoji Dice, Art Bingo, or Art Dice if they have extra time. My students absolutely LOVE the whole Emoji idea. On the wall I also have the history of Emoji’s and how they were created.

My goal is to give my students memorable experiences and not just teach lessons.  I want them to learn about different cultures and develop an appreciation.  My “Welcome to Japan” lesson  is part of my  “Art around the world unit. They will learn about Japanese Art, language, clothes, food, culture and traditions.  Before they enter my class they need to present their passport. They will then be interviewed prior to entering  and their passports will be stamped. They enjoy every minute.  They are my Lil’ Samurai’s and I am “Sensei Perez”

Tar Beach

For Black History month in February I teach my students about the African American artist Faith Ringgold and her style of art, which was Quilting.  My favorite story to do is Tar Beach.  I have my students imagine that they can fly, and ask them to draw themselves flying over their favorite place with their favorite person.  they then write a story behind their picture around the frame.  We then add lots of fabric to frame their story and place them altogether to design our very own class quilt.  Here is a picture of my door.  I like to always motivate them with a door design theme.
