The first week of school is always one that helps establish what the rest of the year is going to look like. For students, they get to figure out where their classes are, who their teachers are, and what is planned for their learning. For teachers like me, it is getting to know the new group of students, establishing norms, and setting the stage for a year of learning.
Today was a big part of that. We took our pre-test on Schoology to help see where students are at in their learning. What did they remember? What do they already know? What do they need to learn? I love the instant results I get from doing this test online and that students can also see how they did and where they need to grow in their knowledge of art concepts and materials.

In addition to pre-tests, students continued to make their mark for their Dot Day collaboration and worked on getting their portfolios art-work-ready. We had a buffet of art supplies ready for students to access after their pre-test was complete. It was so easy to get all of the materials out thanks to the nifty organization done this Summer.
I look forward to the next 17 weeks with these guys and cannot believe we are already finishing week one tomorrow!
