The first week




During the first week of school we made self portraits...they studied some prints done by famous artists and then we drew the outlines of our faces with a pencil, traced it with glue and then covered them with foil and pressed out the glue lines. The kids called it "magic" They colored them with permanent markers...they had a really fun time and the finished products were very impressive during parent orientation on Thursday night. I will post the finished products later.

"Attitude is Everything"




After several coats of paint and a little sewing I finished my classroom. It is bright and cheerful and hopefully will make us all happy...
