Wait, change that title! It should say, "Where's Mrs. Timmons & Mr. Collins?" The first week of art classes is always a little tough to plan. There are so many things to go over! Rules, emeregncy procedures, where supplies are, student seats, etc. All of thoes introduction things usually take up the 1st of my art class, which leaves me with only 20 mintuets to teach! So for the first project, I had all students create a self-portrait. My only rule was, no stick people! I let the kids draw themselves how ever they wanted, doing whatever they wanted! Next, I collected all the self-portraits and hung them up to create the "Where's Mrs. Timmons & Mr. Collins?" board! Students, partents and teachers have had a great time look for our principals and themselves!

I have mentioned before how much a feel like I am playing catch up this year and I still feel that way but this afternoon I made a bit of progress. One of the projects I have been wanting to get done is my hall bulletin board. Open House is coming up and it's time to show off what we have been doing. So, this afternoon that's what I worked on! I was inspired by this pin: http://www.izzyshare.com/ideabulletinboard But I wanted my board to feature our school colors, so I added a bit of blue fabric and some cute frames from Lakeshore Learning! Soon I will have pictures of my Maestro of the Month and Spotlight Performers in those frames. Mrs. P, our PE teacher was helping me hang everything and she taught me a cool trick. The staples were pretty obvious on the letters, so we took Sharpies and colored over them and now they are barely visible.
