Hey everyone, it's Michelle Fontaine. I am doing my service project at Greenbush Elementary school in West Warwick, Rhode Island. I am currently shadowing and helping the art teacher, Mrs. Cosgrove. She teaches all day long and sometimes after school. Helping her has been a great experience because I get to see what it is like being an art teacher, but I also get to be around her students and get to know them. Even though it has been only four days into my senior project, I will be sad to leave them all because the students have been so kind and funny, I never want to leave them. The best part about being there is that I can use my art major skills in order to help the kids get to understand what they are doing and why they are doing it. I get to demonstrate activities, like finger painting and drawing. Currently all the grades are working on some amazing projects. The kindergarten classes are finger painting. The first grade and second grade are making line monsters. The third grade are making puppets. The fourth grade are making hot and cold pictures and finally, the fifth grade are one-point perspective drawings. I am able to help each grade get a fuller understanding of what they are doing and how to do it, which is a great feeling for me. Anyways I have 5 days left and I am hoping to make the best out of it.
