SPOTLIGHT ON INSTRUCTION

Mrs. Huvaere teaches AP studio art, drawing/painting, advanced drawing/painting, advanced photography, yearbook and graphic design. In the month of March, one project students completed in her advanced drawing/painting class was using graphite drawing pencils to create a still life from observation, with emphasis on value, light and shading. “Students were given a choice of four different groupings of objects to choose to draw based on skill, confidence and prior experience,” said Mrs. Huvaere. Throughout the activity, her students completed warm-up exercises by drawing spheres, cones, cylinders, and cubes with valuing transformations of shapes to 3-D forms. The students then further discussed and learned basic forms and how to create or apply them to other objects. When teaching, the strategy that she likes to use the most is choice. “I love to design lessons that allow students to make creative and conscious decisions about their artwork,” said Mrs. Huvaere.

SOCIAL STUDIES NHS VISITS MEADOW BROOK

Rochester High School’s National Social Studies Honor Society spent quality time with the Meadow Brook Elementary first graders to celebrate President's Day as well as Women's History Month. During this time a few of our members assumed the characters of significant individuals throughout American history. George Washington, John F. Kennedy, Teddy Roosevelt, Abraham Lincoln, Rosie the Riveter, and Abigail Adams were some of our very influential figures chosen to be shared. The first graders, went station-to-station learning about each figure and followed up the short yet engrossing lessons with a small activity or game to directly engage the students with the information they had learned. This opportunity helped showcase Rochester students’ abilities to work with younger age groups and pass on their passion for learning to our future falcons! Rochester National Social Studies Honor Society has started a new tradition and hopes to continue this event for years to come.
