• About This Blog

  This is the classroom blog for Ms. Cynthia Gaub, who teaches art and technology at North Middle School in the Everett School District. The posts are mainly for my students to assist them with class assignments. There are often links to other blogs and websites that were found to be useful and appropriate for students in grades 6-8.

  STUDENTS: You will sometimes find that the images, videos or links are blocked by our in-school filters, but you can try the links at home, they should work there!

  PARENTS: If you find a link that is broken or no longer appropriate, please feel free to email me or comment on that post and I will fix or update as needed.

  TEACHERS: I hope that you will also find something useful or inspiring on this blog. Email me if you have any questions about my blog or my classes.

  Praise For North MS
  North Middle School is a wonderful school where kind, talented teachers encourage a love of learning in my children. Ms. Gaub is an extraordinary film, art, and technology teacher whose students often win contests for their work in her class. Ms. Shepherd is the most effective positive principal I've ever met, who is committed to every student's success both at school and in life. The school rule 'no one has the right to interfere with the learning, safety, and wellbeing of others' it creates positive respectful relationships in classrooms among the students, teachers, and staff.From a Parent

   Cynthia- my students *loved* making stencil graffiti for my classroom- and it was a video class! I let them work on them when they were doing group projects or had a little downtime… or lunch, after school… the room became quite the stencil museum, it broke my heart i couldn’t chip it all of the walls and take it with me when i left.

   Thanks for posting the video!
