Mrs. Megan Garcia » About Me

About Me

Hello! My name is Megan Garcia and I am excited to be your child’s 4th Grade teacher. This is my fifth year at Athlos Leadership Academy. I graduated from Augsburg University with a degree in Elementary Education. I have taught in Anoka Hennepin School District as a Reading Specialist, pre-kindergarten summer teacher.  When I am not teaching I enjoy traveling, being outdoors, reading, being with son, Theo and my friends and family.

         

          Learning is something I have always enjoyed and I always strive for greatness, I hope to be able to share this with your child. I'm excited to help shape your child as so many of my teachers helped my parents shape me into the person I am today. This upcoming school year will be an amazing journey which will include great educational and social experiences.  Our classroom will be a place where students feel welcomed and safe. I am excited to get to know you and each of the 4th graders as we create a community in Room 109 this school year!

Hello, Athlos artists! Today, we will learn how to make our vessels look 3D by adding VALUE, which is the lightness or darkness of an object.

If you do not yet have an Athlos iPad, continue working with paper (but check in with your homeroom teacher about if you should be getting your iPad or not). 

Each Friday, make sure to ask yourself, “did I see Ms. McCotter in-person this week?” If the answer is “no,” make sure to watch the art video for that current week!

Art

Title: Story Vessel Part Three 

A Note from Your Teacher:  

Hello, Athlos artists! Each Friday, make sure to ask yourself, “did I see Ms. McCotter in-person this week?” If the answer is “no,” make sure to watch the art video for that current week! 

Today, we are continuing to work on our story vessel projects. After reviewing what we know about the Ancestral Pueblo people, we will begin adding effects and color to our backgrounds. Then, finish your vessel and story sketch! You can use pictures, words, colors, and almost anything else to talk about your story. While I encourage you to fill your background with color (using whatever material you’d like) today, you can save coloring the vessel and story until next week while other students catch up. 

If you have an Athlos iPad, watch the “Background, Select, and Transform Tutorial” video below after watching the regular lesson video and do your drawing in the program. If you do not yet have an Athlos iPad, continue working with paper, but check in with your homeroom teacher about if you should be getting your iPad or not. 

Feel free to pause the video as needed and as always, you are more than welcome to reach out if you have any questions…or just want to say, “hi” J

ART FOR THE WEEK

Title: Story Vessel Lesson Two 

A Note from Your Teacher:  

Hello again, Athlos artists, to another virtual art class! Each Friday, make sure to ask yourself, “did I see Ms. McCotter in-person this week?” If the answer is “no,” make sure to watch the art video for that current week! 

Today, we are continuing to work on our story vessel projects. After reviewing your story idea from last week, ask yourself, “do I want to make a bowl, pitcher, vase, pot, or some other vessel?” Once you have decided and drawn what form your vessel will be, start decorating it with your story! You can use pictures, words, colors, and almost anything else to talk about your story. Don’t worry about it looking perfect right now; today we are just sketching. 

If you have an Athlos iPad, watch the “Autodesk Sketchbook Tutorial” video after watching the regular lesson video and do your sketching with the program. If you do not yet have an Athlos iPad, just sketch your story vessel ideas using paper and pencil. 

Feel free to pause the video as needed and as always, you are more than welcome to reach out if you have any questions…or just want to say, “hi” J

ART FOR THE WEEK

Title: Story Vase Lesson 1 

A Note from Your Teacher:  

Welcome back, Athlos artists! After reviewing the three expectations of art class, we will dive into our story vase project by reading a short story together about Ancestral Pueblo artists. Afterwards, you will write down a few of your OWN stories, ideas, and feelings. Don’t worry, you don’t have to write the whole story down! Just jot down a word or two so that you can remember your ideas for next week’s class.  

Feel free to pause the video as needed and as always, you are more than welcome to reach out if you have any questions…or just want to say, “hi” J
