On Thursday February 10, 2011 we had a guest speaker come to class. The speaker was a Menomonie area Elementary art teacher. She covered a lot of material in a short amount of time but found having her come into class was very meaning full.
One thing that I found to be very reassuring was that she says she “teaches children.” It’s not so much that she teaches art as much as it’s about the children that she teaches. She does teach art but there are many other things that she teaches in addition, including social skills, manners, etc. Sometimes I feel that I am not as talented in the art area as some of my other classmates, but I do have a passion for art, but most of all a passion of teaching.
The guest speaker also touched on ordering supplies, which was completely new to me. I found this interesting and the bidding process that she uses to be a good way to go about finding the best prices for needed supplies. My only concern would be how to figure out how much to order and making sure I have all the supplies I need. I’m hoping as we touch on ordering supplies more I will get more of an idea as to how to figure all of that.
Overall she was a great speaker and I look forward to the next. I’ll be sure to write and fill you in on it too!
