No bento today. I woke up slowly to a gray day and couldn’t get myself up until the waking of kids compelled me to.Â
Not much on the agenda for today. I did pick up some art literacy forms from the school that I want to re-do. The person that has been running it is done this year, and, to be honest, isn’t exactly known for her organizational skills. I’m hoping that her assistant chair person will be staying on to teach the volunteers, but I’m planning on being a bit more involved in the back end. The materials are a mess. The information in the bins for each artist refer to sets of slides and specific examples that we don’t have. In fact, from what I can tell, the school doesn’t have reproductions for most of the artists at all. I’m planning on looking into that and the budget available and hopefully can rectify that a little each year until all 36 bins have what the parent volunteers need to actually introduce the artists to the kids without borrowing library books or picking up thier own materials (which is what I did most of the time). Somewhere there has to be organizational information that I need to track down as well. There’s a six year revolving curriculum — someone must know which artists are grouped together each year and thier order. I’d like to get a jump on next year’s set. Guess I’ll send out another batch of emails.
Today is also my birthday. 40 years. When did I get so old?!
