Secret Artist/Procrastinator

From my feedback, it sounds like people read this blog for the same reason, I read other blogs: camaraderie. It just feels nice knowing there are others out there going through the same thing.

Without any big, philosophical ramblings (though I have some brewing), here are some of the things my classroom has been up to.

A month or so ago, I made a subconscious decision to do anything besides my lingering Elementary homework and timelines. Thus, I decided to create a set of decorative letter cards. I had seen a few cute ones on etsy, but none of them had cursive letters or were completely phonetic. So, why not hand-make a whole set? It was completely unnecessary, though I do think it brightens up the room a bit and has helped a few kids when they get stuck thing of a letter name/sound or the cursive/print version of a letter.



Isn't my elephant cute? The grapes... Well, not so much. One of the children also told me that h was "pimp hat". Guess, I should have left out the feather. Here are a few more.



The octopus was hard and he looks a little crazy. Nonetheless, I had a third year child tell me I was a "secret artist" because he didn't know I could draw. This is absolutely the best compliment I have ever received because, obviously, art is not something that comes naturally to me. It's rather cute that he felt I was hiding such "talent" from him.
