Entry #3

Day one routines set the mood for the rest of the semester, so it's important to have a plan. I plan to start out the day by saying hello to the students when they walk in and instruct them to grab a drawing pencil and paper. This will be a time for students to write their name and incorperate two drawings that is about them. When students are done working, I will give them time to share with the class who they are and why they draw what they did. This way the students can get to know each other better by introducing themselves in a fun way.

It is important to have a general set of rules that I can enforce at any given time. 

Some rules I would enforce is to respect ourselves and others, keep the classroom noise at a reasonable level, and ask if you have questions. Some specific rules for my classroom would be to clean up after yourself, use the art tools respectfully, and don't mess with other people's projects. 

My daily setup for class would be to have a project ready for them to start as they enter the classroom, I would demonstrate the project that I am giving them and explain what they need to do for that specific project, and I wold then allow them to grab their materials and get to work on their project. At the end of the class period, they will have 5-10 minutes for clean up.
