Utah Museum of Contemporary Art Truck
Teachers, on November 12 and 13, we will be having a visit from the Utah Museum of Contemporary Art who will bring their truck so students can visit. The reality is that we will not be able to fit all our kids into the schedule. The least disruptive way to do it would be during prep (which we can do for Art on Wednesday). Tuesday, there is no art, so we can create a more open schedule that day and you can sign up. Wednesday, there is an open spot from 9:50-10:40 am, as well. The recommendations are these: RECOMMENDED GROUP SIZE: 25-30 students. VISIT DURATION PER GROUP: 35-45 minutes. If you wish your class to go, please let me know. I will create a schedule this week so you can sign up for Tuesday and the slot(s) on Wednesday.
