​Another school year is approaching...
 TIME FLIES. Wow!
Looking back to my last post, it's been a looong time since I've checked in. Two years of Covid interruptions and, of course, last school year where all NS teachers were mandated an extra course to teach with no extra time or compensation...
Long story short, after 30 years in the business, teaching is more demanding than it ever has been. The extras are lost in the reality of trying to deliver the basics.
Google Classroom has taken over for teacher websites, and ALTHOUGH I love to share the cool things (pics) my students and I have been working on, advertising workshops I've organized, posting art opportunities, etc., a redundancy with the digital Classroom format forces me to make a choice.
Trying to make the best of the 'classroom' I'm given through face-to-face, while maintaining a clear and transparent record through good ol' Google for my students and their parents is where I'm at.
Yours in education,
                                                     A dedicated and proud teacher,
                                                    Rosemarie/ Ms. Perry

Social Justice and Anti-Racism are the themes going up in new frames in the main office this week as teachers act on being more aware of every culture represented within our walls, our communities, our city, our province.

Sooooo glad to be back in school after the longest MARCH BREAK EVER...
All your start up docs, including your monthly sketchbook homework should be posted here, under the class tab...
Google classroom is also your ultimate go-to, but this 'blog' tab also allows me to share news and pics, so good to check in once in a while... :0)
​Ms. P.

Regular postings of monthly homework can be found on the cork board behind the classroom door, as well as on the google classroom, as well as under your classroom tab on the menu bar on the home page of this site... ;0)
Deadlines for all assignments are always on the left hand side of the whiteboard in our classroom (#117) AS WELL AS the google classroom for each class.

Trying to stay sane and thinking creatively with a bit of humour while isolating for approximately a month now...
Linked some resources on my home page that you can play EYE SPY with, as Noah Scalin does in his amazing book, UNSTUCK, a toolbox for your creativity...
Think of creative ways to add eyeballs to places around and in your home as a bit of a game to surprise the ones that discover their odd existence and possibly, elicit some good fun and laughter!!
Stay safe ;0)

​​Do you have an interest in the arts? Have you thought about attending art school, and would like to know how to proceed? Do you find the idea of a portfolio overwhelming, and aren’t sure where to start?
If this sounds like you, or someone you know, we welcome you to join us on Saturday, February 15, 2020 for NSCAD’s annual winter Portfolio Day.
What is Portfolio Day?
Portfolio Day provides an opportunity for potential students to explore NSCAD’s campuses through guided tours, meet professors and current students, gain information about building a portfolio, and learn tips on how to strengthen an application.
What does the day look like?
Tours take place from 9:15-11:15 a.m. at NSCAD’s Fountain Campus (5163 Duke Street), and 2-3:30 p.m. at NSCAD’s Port Campus (1107 Marginal Road). If you’re looking to have your portfolio reviewed, you can sign up for a one-on-one appointment with a faculty member at Port Campus. You can choose to participate in the day however best suits you and come and go as you please.
There will be ample opportunities to ask questions throughout the day, as well as connect with NSCAD students, faculty and staff. For more information on how the day can best benefit you, please contact us directly (contact information below).
Do I need a portfolio to attend?
Not at all! If you don’t have a portfolio, you’re welcome to bring a few examples of your work (should you have any), or even just your questions and ideas. We welcome anyone, no matter their age, educational background, taste or lived experience, to visit us at NSCAD to find out if we’re the right fight for you.
How do I register?
If you’d like to attend in person or would like to receive more information about NSCAD through email, please contact the Admissions team by phone 902-494-8259 or by email [email protected], or click here to register.
