00:20:23 The Folkestads: Hi Kara & Sheila - a few of us tried the link in the email and ended up in a meeting with a only a few people. I tried again and am in but there maybe people having trouble. FYI 00:21:50 Debbi Hegstrom (she/her): We are letting people in from the waiting room as they enter. 00:24:49 Kara ZumBahlen (she/her): Thanks, Sheila—we had two links on the CE message, and some folks are clicking on the one for the adult session tonight. Debbi, could you send the link out to school guides again? 00:25:33 Debbi Hegstrom (she/her): Yes, will do. 00:27:27 Nan McRae: To clarify, Montessori kids still think of themselves by grade level? 00:33:43 Josephine Owens: I taught 4 and 5. I thought one difference was that 5th graders could think more abstractly. They could handle more theoretical questions. Do you agree? It’s been a few years. 00:36:21 Peter Avirom: Josephine, I can speak to that too… 00:40:48 Naomi H: What is the best way to reach out for a guide to reach out to the classroom teacher before the tour? Frequently, it seems difficult to get the basic information we need. What are the best questions to ask? 00:43:21 Barb Mikelson: Matt, we really appreciate your attitude that it is the teacher/chaperone's place to discipline! 00:43:35 stephmcnally: Sometimes on tours, I’ve had an eager kiddo who always answers everything and sits in front and raises their hand first. What would your approach be to that child or the whole class when this happens? 00:44:14 Naomi H: Email, phone, video conference? 00:44:58 Josephine Owens: Last week we learned a lot of great tricks to get little kids back on task or focussed. Any fun or highly effective ones to share? I like - All set? Response of “you bet” or “not yet” for when you are finishing up a pair share or something. 00:47:11 Gordy and Maggie Rosine: How do you handle it when the chaperon answers our the questions and not the students 00:55:48 Peter Avirom: VTS is great! 01:04:28 Josephine Owens: I hand out modeling clay at Stampede as I explain the process. Then the kids pair share and give back. It’s never been a problem. 01:13:25 vickiklaers: I’ve heard this word “Anamay” today from these teachers and could they explain what this is? 01:13:48 Peter Avirom: Anime= Japanese animation 01:14:32 vickiklaers: Thank you! 01:14:33 Peter Avirom: St Paul public library has an Anime club. Japan America society would be a resource as well. 01:15:42 Peter Avirom: Miyazaki and studio gibli 01:16:09 Brenda Wyley: As of 2016, Japanese anime accounted for 60% of the world’s animated TV shows! 01:16:16 Peter Avirom: K-pop 01:17:47 stephmcnally: My third grader and a lot of his friends are super into graphic novels too - so another good reason to talk to the teachers about what the kids are reading/watching as a part of the pre-tour conversation. 01:18:17 Brenda Wyley: Compared to western animation, anime production focuses less on movement, and more on the detail of settings and use of camera effects such as panning, angle shots and zooming. 01:18:21 Jill McMahan: Spirited Away & Howl's Moving Castle were ones that my kids liked. 01:20:10 lucy-Mia: If Anamay (sp) is so popular with kids, should we bring out our big white dog? It is Asian (cant remember the artist without going to our website and I don't want to leave this mtg. 01:21:02 Teresa Luterbach: Often the Mia guide is communicating with the school coordinator for Art Adventure and not the teacher. How might we change this a bit so that we are in direct communication with the person who would know best what the students are watching/reading/interested in, etc. 01:23:18 Regina Sindalovsky: ask them what is easier to create 01:25:35 Regina Sindalovsky: nudity at the museum? 01:25:38 Nan McRae: Could we create a simple form to send to make it easy to fill out and allow open ended questions also? Like a Google Form? 01:30:11 stephmcnally: Yeah and one approach might be just validating, “yeah that makes you feel uncomfortable and that’s ok.” And then move on down the road. 01:32:04 Naomi H: Thank you Peter and Matt -- very informative! I wish all teachers were like you! 01:33:48 vickiklaers: I’m a retired elementary teacher and I have so many new insights into teaching today from you two! Thank you! 01:34:03 Josephine Owens: Ditto! Thank you! 01:34:09 Peter Avirom: My pleasure to be here. 01:34:13 Nan McRae: I can tell you are AWESOME teachers, wish my kids could have had you! 01:43:57 Kara ZumBahlen (she/her): From a guide’s perspective, what was the most useful knowledge to come from the conversation with the classroom teachers? Thinking of a tour topic of “Visual Elements and Principles,” what artworks would you use to engage this age group? Thinking of a tour theme titled “Mysteries in the Museum,” what artworks would you use to engage this age group? 02:06:08 Nan McRae: Also to share the theme that we chose w/the topic so they can riff on that if they’d like? 02:07:56 Elizabeth: With AA tours will there still be a classroom discussion by a picture person before the tour? 02:07:59 lindathain: When we went to the Chicago Art Institute as a class when I was a student, we always drew something we saw when we returned to school. That was the 1950’s. 02:08:59 Josie: Use the teacher’s classroom website. It will help you before you contact the teacher. 02:11:00 Brenda Wyley: FABULOUS practical info today. Thanks ladies!
