Assignment #2

I am catching up on specific assignments.  I had the chance to practice with my fellow art teachers.  We each took a chance to VTS with one another.  It was a nice chance to see my colleague Diana, who inspired me to implement VTS with my students.  She has traveled to take a VTS course and has worked with her building's literacy coach to support her teaching of VTS.  I really took away some statements she used, specifically connecting statements.  Diana, does a nice job connecting statements that are similar and also transitioning when students get hung up on one specific area of the artwork.  Since this is my 3rd year implementing VTS with kindergarten students, I want to work on my paraphrasing and connections as well as ensuring that I am teaching VTS properly.
