This past week included a wide range of tasks and projects at MOAS that made for an interesting week. It started off with the weekly registration of kids for camps. Thanya and I were in charge of overseeing the registration of the 4 to 6 years old. As it so happens, many of the kids that were here during the first week returned for this week’s classes. That sped up registration as their paperwork was already in the system, which was nice. Nonetheless, we did have slight roadblocks when a couple of kids’ paperwork weren’t in order or were placed in the incorrect class but, that was quickly handled.
\nOverall, camp was relatively quiet since one of the classes (10 to 12 year olds) was an outreach program with the Marine Science Center. So there was a lesser need for classroom aids. Even so, we still periodical checked in with the teachers and made sure that everything was running smoothly in the Children’s Musuem.
\nWe’ve continued doing tours in the morning for visiting groups and as the days go by I’m beginning to feel more at easing with leading them. I suppose that it was ultimately a matter of practice and patience as some group really do push the limits on how rowdy they are.
\nThroughout the rest of our time we have begun working on two projects that will be ongoing: touching up fossil cast and MOAS rocks. The fossil cast are highly used in a number of summer classes and in outreach programs. Some are in dire need of repainting and patch up work yet, the majority need minimal work that can be completed in a couple hours.
\nMeanwhile, MOAS rocks are a play on the Volusia or Deland Rocks that you find and then re-hide for others to find but, in our case we will be giving free entrance to those that find them. The rocks’ illistrations are based on the different permanent collection and are of course aimed directly to engage families and children. Both projects are highly utilizing the skills that we have acquired throughout a number of art classes like sculpture and painting. As I mentioned before these two projects will be ongoing and reaffirm the education department’s goal of engagement so, I really look forward to their continuation.
