First year down

My first year of teaching is over and I am all sorts of sad about it. The kids were so much more amazing than I thought they even could be. I learned and loved so much this year. I will miss the kids so much and hope to see them around. They did so much fabulous artwork, and their reading was most impressive. I wasn't really sure how that was going to fly, but man, they are fantastic readers all. I so look forward to this fall to start up again. Keep the art alive, and have a wonderful summer!!

the Spring Salon


We had our final art show today. The kids have worked so hard, and learned so much. They are amazing artists! The show was awesome, I was so proud of my little Studio kids.

The year is coming to an end, and boy will I miss my little friends. They are such fabulous kids, and I have thoroughly enjoyed this year.

sh - sharks!!


Today we learned a little bit about sharks. We found out how big some of the bigger and smaller sharks are, then we made these awesome shark cards! They bite and everything!

Celebration Day!

This awesome guy just came to our school a few months back and we are so glad he did! The best thing about him is that he's a pilot! Who knew? He loves the color green and appropriately wishes so bad that he was in the army so he could use his pilot skills to fly bomber jets, and launch rockets. He doesn't like giraffes, and seriously, who can blame him. Therefore if he were an animal, he would be a Lion. He is amazing because he is so smart, and he can do front flips probably better than anyone! We have loved getting to know this great kid!

cinco de mayo


Today we talked about cinco de mayo. It was all sorts of fun. We made our own quesadillas for snacks, and made marachas for one of our crafts. They made fantastic music, and we did a little mariachi parade and said "ole!" and "andale andale!" and "ay ay ay ay ay!" really loud. que bueno! he he he he. such a fun day

Celebration Day!

Today we got to celebrate this darling little girl! The best part about her is that she has a puppy that is her most favorite thing in the world! Lucky! She loves it so much that if she could have anything in the world, it would be another puppy. She loves the color purple, and she loves sea horses. She doesn't like sharks because they eat sea horses. She is amazing because she is so helpful, and she can do somersaults better than anyone. We love our association with this little angel.

ch - charms!


Today in school we made clay charm necklaces. We made clay, rolled it out, and the kids cut out words, or just letters. We baked them and painted them, and strung them on some yarn. This was such a cool project. I loved how they turned out.
