Meet Dusty
This is the newest member to my Art Room team. He will join the students and me as we work together to keep the Art Room clean and organized. With staff cuts, I'm teaching more classes in more buildings. The only way I can survive these jam-packed days is to keep the art rooms as organized as possible. I'm thinking Dusty will help. Elementary students love to make a mess but they also love to be helpers. The old broom and bent dust pan we had in the past just worked poorly. So I went to Lowes and picked up 2 of these. They were not very expensive and will help out greatly. Not having to bend over to use the dust pan is a big plus!

I love it! Wondering what kind of markers did you use?

Melissa -Thanks for visiting my blog! I used acrylic paints but I would think that paint markers would work also.
ReplyDeleteDo you have to clean your own room?
ReplyDelete@artteacher - Depends on the custodian in whichever building I'm in. But I always ask the students to leave the room as clean as it was when they came in, so I don't like a room to be messy when they come in. If they take care of a lot of the messes then the custodians are more likely to help wash down tables or mop once in awhile.
ReplyDeleteGreat idea! I had a student paint my paper recycling bin last June to remind kids to recycle and help our planet. I like the idea of personifying these tools. Check it out~ fingerpaintinggenius.blogspot.com (the Art Room is Going Green post).
