2nd- 6th Student Showcase at the San Diego County Fair!

The 2021-2022 school year was incredibly challenging. The measures and policies put in place in order to protect the public during the Covid 19 Pandemic have very much affected the growth mindset, behavior, and social emotional development of Elementary school aged children. Furthermore, protocols put in place by the schools and in the classrooms, have significantly hindered the learning and teaching experience for both students and teachers. This is not a criticism of policy or policy makers, merely a testament to the Action- Consequence Consideration Matrix. However, though this year has been daunting; a year of assessment, adjustment and catch- up, I am very proud of my students (all 800 of them!). I am currently building a Visual Art program at a duel language TK-6 Elementary school, and despite all the hurdles and hardships this year, my students created some amazing art! I was able to enter 49 works of art into the San Diego County Fair – 48 individual works and one collaborative piece created by the entire 6th grade class, all 91 of them! Each student received the honor of having their work on display, but also a ticket to the fair. I look forward to continuing to build this program and seeing my students grow as artists and as humans! Enjoy!
