Cleaning up time...What else do I need to say??... it is always a hectic time in my room... and I am always searching for a way to organize the kids and myself.
Last year, I decided we needed to have a cleanup song. They kids would have the length of the song to get the room back together. I have the philosophy that art is messy and it's no problem if we make a big mess... but if you make the it you clean it up.
Cleanup song from last year...
Artist: Band of Horses
Song: Compliments
Album: Infinite Arms
Thank you Band of Horses for inspiring the youth to cleanup after themselves while shaking their shoulders and bobbing their heads...

i'm backkkkkkk...
Hello again all!
It has been many a months since my last post. My apologies... I just left with no closing words to the end of the last school year. Summer was a much needed break and boy oh boy was it a good one. I left June 25th and did not return home until August 21st. Off I went on an exciting cross country adventure going to 19 different states plus British Columbia, drove 9771 miles, saw my roommate get married, slept in a tree house, went to the northwestern most point in the mainland US, swam in Californian rivers, hiked up a massive rock to see the delicate arch in Utah, camped at the Badlands, visited some amazing friends, meet new friends, and spent some beautiful time with my boyfriend and accomplice in this cross country escapade.

These are just a few of the fantastic moments from summer... but now it's time for art projects galore! A new year and new classes! I am now (proudly) Kinder - 6th grade and upper school art teacher! WOOOO... bring on the middle school:)
