During my practicum I taught many science lessons on Penguins. In my last week I decided to be brave and make penguin masks for art. My teacher said that the most important part of art is being organized, which is something that I love to do. I cut out the masks ahead of time out from white stiff cardboard, which is stiff enough to manage lots of glue and materials. The students first coloured their masks with felts, the teacher had a box of extra felts for students who needed it. Once students finished colouring, they wrote their names on the back and started to add materials. I organized the decorative materials in egg cartoons (one at each group of students). This worked really well and maintain the materials with very little mess. Each table had a paper plate with glue, the students used popsicle sticks to spread the glue. The students loved it and were very proud of their work. I put on a "Hoja" CD and very little behaviour management was needed. I would definetely teach this lesson again.
