Organizing Reproductions for student use

I hope students will be able to look through the prints to gather ideas and I will be able to pull prints with ease.

Behaviors in Art Class

My goal is to be more communicative with parents. I created a creative news note to go home with awesome artists and borrowed the idea of the oooopps your child had a hard day in art.

So how to keep track of if you send a note home to be signed? I'm going to make a post-it note chart next to the door. If I send a behavior note home, I will write the student's name on a post-it on the sent side and when the note is returned...I will move the post-it over.

Is this a good idea? bad idea? have you tried it idea?

With only seeing the students one a week it's hard to remember if they returned a note...or who I sent a note home with.

Art Lesson Plans at a Glance

This year I worked out, finally, how I would like to store and present my lessons and examples

1. A glance at the week followed by the actual lesson plan and standards with relatable books also in the sleeve.

2. In the back, dividers per grade level separating my teacher examples
