Arrival Time: Please arrive by 9:45am / Sunday March 27th
The workshop opens at 10:15am but the schedule allows kids about 15 minutes to get settled in before the group discussion starts at 10:30am.

Rough Overview for Teachers: Your teacher station (rolling cart) will have all of these items ready
1. Kids will be handed their worksheets, pencils, kneaded erasers.
2. After the group discussion is over and kids have completed the worksheet they will be given a plastic sheet to place their completed worksheet in.
(Kids can add their painting title in later if they want to wait until their painting is finished to title it)
3. After worksheets are checked by roaming volunteers, they can be placed in the plastic sleeve and taped to the back of the canvas.

The Worksheets

Each child will be given a one page worksheet and a pencil. The Volunteer Teacher will use the worksheet to help guide kids through answering each question by filling it out aloud to the entire group. Children will have a few moments to write in their answer.  Workshop Helpers will be spread through-out the room to assist with children with completing their worksheets.  Artist Volunteers will be filling out their own worksheets alongside the kids.
* Volunteer Teachers will complete their own worksheet and painting & display the completed artwork alongside G.E.M.S kids at the gallery exhibit.
