Sawdust!

I have been working hard all weekend cutting, sanding and drilling lumber in preparation for a sculpture project I am going to be teaching to my 4th and 5th graders next month...There is sawdust everywhere!  In my yard, in my kitchen, on me...but it will all be worth it! :)  I need to thank my friend Brady and my John for helping me with all of the preparations!


Here are some pictures.  Any clue as to what we will be making?  Anyone?!

Student Teacher!

Breaking News: Student Teacher Coming to an Art Room Near You!

I am so excited!  Starting next week, we will have a guest in our art from for a couple of months.  I will be serving as the cooperating teacher.  I feel so lucky to have an extra set of "art eyes" and "art hands" to help out in the classroom.  In the beginning she will be just observing what goes on in our classroom, but towards the end she will be teaching some art lessons to the kids.  What a great opportunity for our students to learn about art from a fresh perspective.
