Pinwheels postponed, but glazing is coming!

Had to postpone pinwheels due to supplies.... however, it's time to glaze all the clay projects!

International Peace Day is coming

We will either make pinwheels or hands for peace.... what fun!!!!

Let's All Join Hands

I'm adding a new project to my teaching line-up! It's based on tracing your hand, cutting it out and decorating one side. The other side will have a bit of writing about a word chosen by each student. If all goes well, I'll display the hands at school as part of a Global Art Project.

A rainy Sunday

Woke up to rain this morning. Fall crept in overnight. Makes me sad that summer is gone for the year. But, we're back in school where kids will get to create some great projects! Stay positive & have hope!!!!

First Day of School is here!

Tuesday, Sept. 2, 2008 --- the first day of my 19th year of teaching has begun!!!! We had a shortened day schedule so I only had one class. I did show them how to fold paper to make a hexagon.... most got it! Tomorrow I'll show them Jacob Hashimoto's inspiring art and we'll move along. 5:30 AM is really too early to get up.
