Gateway Earth Patrol Robot Making

Earth Patrol at Gateway asked if I

would come in and teach the Recycled

Robot lesson plan to their group. These are just a few photos of that afternoon. There were approximately 50 kids and 3 adults using computers parts that I had collected over a period of 6 months. Photos of the finished robots coming.

Student Work Gateway

These are images of some of the student work from my lesson plans at Gateway. The first image is of Mendhi Hands. The lesson plan covered a bit about the culture of India and the tradition they have of painting their hands, feet and arms with Henna in preparation for a wedding ceremony. The second image is of An Endangered Species lesson I taught. Each child receive a card with an animal on the front and information about that animal on the back including, name of the animal, their habitat, the food they eat and what threatens them. I presented a power point tha discussed endangered animals all over the world, in the united states and some specific to Idaho. I entered several of these in the Endangered Species contest which is Nation wide. The requirements were for the students to draw at least two endangered animals in their habitiat, include something they eat and include one of their threats. they drew with pencil and colored with colored pencils. Both lessons were K-5th and altered to fit the grade level.

My First Published Article

This is my recently published article in School Arts Magazine the May/June issue of 2011. I submitted this article a little over a year ago after presenting this lesson plan that I developed to the teachers at the Idaho Art Education Association Conference in Hailey, Idaho. I then submitted it into the Undergrad Research Project and it was accepted. I have taught this lesson to several schools already as well as one local school's environmental group. This has been an exciting adventure and I am already working on a second article for the magazine.
