Welcome Back to the 2014-2015 School year!
I am assuming everyone had some excellent summer adventures, rested, read a good book, ate some pancakes, and played outside ALOT! I know I did!
My summer adventures can be summed up in one picture:
I am lucky enough to still go to summer camp each summer as an adult STILL and work with kiddos who have Type 1 Diabetes ( just like me!) and run the programs there. It was a rewarding summer in the woods for me and always excellent to go away for about a month. I think my dogs and husband missed me a bit too much though, so it is good to be back at home and back to the drawing board at school. When I came home these were the faces I was greeted with:
How do I ever leave home?
We have been in school for one week already and working on our summer adventure collages in each class. Now we are working on coming up with a snazzy cover for our art journals. Next, each grade level will start to work on different units. One of my favorite units coming up is the Andy Goldsworthy unit that sixth graders get to work on....stay tuned!
Here is what the classroom looked like one week ago:
It is a little more messy at this point, but still look pretty spiffy at this point in time. I look forward to making many more messes this year and getting into our units of creative learning... so stay tuned!
