  2. Thank you Andrea!
    Hello Everyone

    For now I would like to offer the following dates and times for my first round of visits to your schools. It looks like we will do one visit in February, and then two in March, the first at the beginning of the month; the second, towards the end.

    I could do Jones County on Monday, February 9, see Andrea and Pearl, may be to also include Putnam, to visit with Tessa.

    February 11, to Bibb, Kenny and Juan.

    I will leave Washington to February 13, with a visit to Ashli.

    In all three days the range of my availability would be 9:00 am -1:00 pm
    Please let me know if the dates and times above are doable., and provide more detail on your schedule. Also, state how long your periods are. Do you have any block scheduling?
    I could return to complete the first round on 2/16 and/or 2/18, if necessary.

    Sounds good. Awaiting your response.

    1. Hello!
      I am no longer in Bibb county, I have moved over to Jones County High School, just up the road from Grey Station. If you would like to do a triple header on Monday I could certainly help you with that. I will look over what times I have what periods tomorrow.

    1. Hi Andrea,
      I have a visit to your class on my calendar on Monday 9, February at 9:25 am. Could you please tell me a little more about what to expect during this period. You could either post here, or send something to my Georgia College Outlook account.
      Thank you

    2. During this class period I will be teaching 8th graders. We are finishing up a lesson on Optical art. When the class is close to being finished, we go ahead and introduce the next unit, so I will be introducing Pop art to my students and then if time allows, we will finish production on the Optical art pieces.

  4. That works for me! Monday may be a production day, but that should be fine. You will most likely be observing me circulate the room to talk to student's about their work.

    3. Yes, thank you Kenneth! I think I will try to visit the three of you who are in Jones County. I will finalize the schedule for my visits as soon as you send me yours. Thank you to Pearl and Andrea as we. I wanted to tell all six of you that I would be trying out the assessment format used by Dr. Alby this semester. I also would like to make sure that we will have some time to chat at then end of my visit. This being my first visits, I think we are going to need to contextualize a good deal before we could be sure that we are speaking the same language/s. We will need to become translators for one another on a number of different levels and layers. This is going to be a lot of fun. I could see already.
      I look forward to hear from you Juan, Ashli, and Tessa.
      Best regards,

      Second period I will be taking over for the first time on Monday, it is 9-9:50.
      Third is the painting class I have had the longest, they are 9:55-10:45
      4th is 10:50-11:40
      5th 11:45-12:55

      After my third period class everyone will be in the computer lab working photo projects. My painting classes (2nd and 3rd) are wrapping up projects, reviewing for a test, and doing light critique.

    1. The 18th works for me! I am not sure which class period yet, but I will let you know this week.

    2. OK, please let me know as soon as possible, because my schedule this semester is very liquid, subject to constant, recurrent, as well as unexpected changes. Mornings are most doable--range 9:00-1:00.
      I look forward to your response.

    3. 2nd period would be the best class to come for, it starts at 9:25 and ends at 10:20. I will have time after to discuss the observation. We will be working on string art sculptures, and the day will be spent on production and some review. Washington County is about 45 minutes away if you havent been here before. Looking forward to the visit.

  9. Friday, 1/13 will not work. The students will not be there. It is the beginning of their winter break. Monday, 2/9 would be best, but Wednesday, 2/11 works too.

    5. I apologize for not getting back to you sooner. Friday 2/20 should be great. Either time works for me. I would prefer 9:25-10:55, but the other time works as well.
      See you Friday the 20th! Thanks again.
