| Hi all:) This is my first time teaching art on a cart. I have K-8 for 30 minutes each on a rotating schedule (which is too confusing to explain now). Do any of you ever teach the same lesson to different grades? Like maybe K and 1st occasionally work on the same lesson, or 4th and 5th. | ||||

Do you keep everything you made or selective art work indicating experience/exposure to mediums, techniques and subject?
