Student Growth

Elementary

Goal #1 In grades K-4 80% of students will score 80% or higher on three projects focusing on concepts from core subjects. (One on reading, one on science, and one on math) Most assignments will have pre/post assessment scores to show student growth

Kindergarten

Math: Snowflakes: Students learn about patterns, symmetry, shapes, and cutting
Science: Vegetable Gardens: Students illustrate different types of vegetables and learn about how they grow. Students draw the part of the vegetable that grows under and above ground.
LA: Students create an illustration and written description of their favorite winter activity.

First Grade

Math: Focused on symmetry and proportions of Self Portrait
Sci: Winter Cardinal: Areal Perspective, Anatomy, Tree Structure, Color Theory Concepts
LA: The Most Fun Thing at School: Students needed to illustrate a picture of their favorite most fun thing to do at school and write about it. This was for a competition paired with the general classrooms.

Second Grade

Math: Portrait: focus on symmetry, shapes and balance
Sci: Students had to correctly draw a toucan and pay attention to the anatomy and know about the ecosystem where they live. .
LA: Favorite Winter activity. Students illustrate an a picture showing their favorite winter activity and write a story about it.

Third Grade

Math: Self Portrait: Proportions, Shapes, Symmetry
Sci: Clay leaf- science of how leaves are structured, and why they change color in the fall.
LA: TV6 Weather Buddies. Students illustrate and narrate a poster about their favorite type of weather.

Fourth Grade

Math: Macinac Bridge Drawing. Measuring and perspective to get correct angles, sizes, shapes and proportions. Using fractions to locate proper placement and using rulers.
Science: Clay Creatures. Construction and building with clay, learning about kinds of clay, and how it changes from soft to solid form.
LA: Doodle for Google: Students worked through written instructions to create a doodle for google idea. Ideas and images needed to match. Students needed to write a description about their drawing..

High School

Goal #2: In Art 1-4, 80% of students will score 80% or higher on two projects focusing on math concepts. Most assignments will have pre/post assessment scores to show student growth.

Exam: The exam is not part of my goals, but I wanted to show the improvement over the course of the first semester.
Clay: Students had to create a clay vessel or object meeting the required height, and had to design it to be self supporting, using three different techniques. Students used math skills in figureing out how to meet the requirements and in building the 3-D Form. They had to form a plan and then successfully execute. Basic engineering
Matting: Students had to prove through physical and written evidence that they could figure out how to correctly cut a matt frame for their artwork.
