UPDATE:  Hope you followed along as I live tweeted our field trip.  Thank you Mr. Robinson for emailing families this link! 
I put together this quick Animoto video, but it doesn't do it justice. Listening to what the kids were sharing and their excitement via our Audioboos is so worth it!
I organized all of our Audioboos into one place so you can listen to them here:
Original post: I am going to try to live tweet our field trip with Audioboo using the hashtag #drydenartic. If all goes as planned you be able to see and hear what we are experiencing in our tweets below.

Preparing for our Field Trip

Our fourth graders will be going to the Art Institute of Chicago after spring break.
So, we are creating art and playing games about the art that we will find when we arrive.
Today we played, SPECT-ART-ACLES. This game was developed after I saw a presentation at the national art conference two years ago. The kids love this guessing game. We also have played Art Institute Bingo and Connect-a-Concept to become more familiar with the museum's permanent collect. When we arrive we will go on a scavenger hunt for some paintings in the permanent collection. Learning should be fun!

Our Art Institute Field Trip (Best Ever!)

We just returned from our Art Institute of Chicago field trip. This was the best trip EVER! The museum was calm and uncrowded. It felt peaceful, fun, interesting, the students were completely engaged and enthusiastic, lots of smiles, and great questions...and I was able to Tweet my trip (now that I have an iPhone wooohoo!) Did anyone catch my twitter feed?Click here! I also compiled the video and stills into this movie. Sorry, to the students who were not in my big or small group. I tried to capture as many kids as I could, but the ones in my group got a lot of camera time.
