More to look forward to... :)

Next week, my 3rd internship week, I will not be lead T.A. in any class, so I will be at IS183 as well as some schools in Pittsfield, with the Learning Through The Arts groups! I will be bringing (resident) artists to their (at risk) classrooms, like the BRIDGE group, and observing and assisting! (4 required observations, beware; I'm coming for you!) It will be so cool to spend some time with these artists on the drives, talking with them...

I also can't wait until the week I will be in the office at IS183. I will be helping with grant research (thank you, Ideas Into Action at Lesley!), and I will also be helping with - get this - (Learning Through The Arts) curriculum development!! For example, channeling my Enchanted Garden lesson idea into their curriculum formatting. And more - SO COOL.

Aaaalso, as I mentioned a little about the classes I'm taking here, I figured I would mention what's going on in my Thursday class. Last week, we went to Stonover Farms, a b&b where IS183 was setting up their Soul Appetite summer art show/bash. So we got to see an awesome gallery they set up in a barn at this b&b, and we talked about galleries for the class theme. THIS week (tm), we will be going to an artist's gallery space in Great Barrington to hear him talk about his work and how he sets up galleries, etc. Again - SO COOL.

And I just can't wait!
