Monday

As we are entering our second week, it was nice to be able to meet all of the other Fellows in person. Everyone was lovely and I look forward to seeing them during our excursions! While at the Craft Museum, this week is our first week of art camp. We had an extensive list of students ranging from ages 6-12 come in to complete different projects with myself and the other teachers. It was a bit nerve racking getting prepared for everything to start, once we met the kids and our day got started, it all fell into place. 

Early on in the week we found out one of the teachers was sick and not able to come in. This left me with being the one who would step in and I’d have to teach 4 classes a day by myself. This thought is a little daunting but I’m always up for a challenge and have no issues with the extra responsibility. I’m quite looking forward to it actually. I will be doing a felting project and teaching the students about embroidery. This will be my first time doing both of these things seriously and it will be interesting to see how all of this will work out. I’m very excited!

    Today was my last official day of teaching for the 1st week. It was extremely fun! I was able to form many connections with all of the kids and we had some interesting conversations. It was nice being able to offer them a different teaching structure than what they were used to. They seem to have really enjoyed themselves!
