Prevent Sticky Situations!

8/25/2013

An ounce of prevention is worth a ....ton of paper towels, tears of frustrations, and lots of class time. Let's revisit how to take care of our art supplies.
Below, one of my classroom glue bottles introduces the feature film, The Glue Blues.

The Glue Blues is one of our award-winning Fugleflicks (Student-Created, Art-Related) videos.
You can now download this QR Code book for your classroom featuring 20 of our favorite Fugleflicks for your students to scan on their device and view independently.
I also made an eBook version of this book that you can load to your iPad. View both here.

NO More Glue Blues!

This week I spent some time doing professional development for art teachers in Missouri, Illinois, and Indiana (which is very exciting- and very new to me). But, nothing is more exciting than knowing that what you share had an impact in some way. When I returned home I found a picture in my inbox from art teacher, Sarah David in Downers Grove, Il. She shared our Fugleflick video, The Glue Blues, with her students. Now she has decorated glue bottles that all have closed lids even after students used them! Yeah! No more glue blues!
