this is no joke!

This is not an April Fool's joke, it is, in fact, a real post. I know it may seem hard to believe since it has been well over a month since my last one. I'm happy to say the sunshine has been a welcomed guest here. And, with the arrival of the sun and warmth, I think I feel my creative energy kicking in. Here's to hoping anyway.

I don't usually post too much about my job as a teacher, but this little project is something I'm proud of. A couple of weeks ago we had a special day at school. This day is intended to expose our students to art, culture, etc. Parents and other members of the community come and share in this special day. I chose a Parisian theme-with a little VanGogh art and bistro style tablescape.

We also made tissue paper flowers in symmetrical vases. I was so proud of how well my students did with their artwork. I have so many little artists! The projects were fun, but I quickly realized why I'm not an art teacher.
