Zen at Recess

Last week it was too cold to go outside after lunch. So I gave out sheets with dots to make drawings. It's never been so quiet and peaceful during recess time.

Hot Baked Type

MMmmm today we made type out of dough and ate it hot out of the oven.

Winter Weather

It has been a very cold and snowy year. The children don't seem to mind at all except when it is too cold to go outside. I illustrated the base of the eyes and body for these snow people. The student painted the details.

Handmade Cards

School is finally back to regular classes. We started the week with some sad news that one of the instructors had been seriously injured in a car accident. The children designed large get well cards together.

The Medium

So there is this silver marker that appeared in the instructor's drawer. I'm not really sure where it came from or who is the owner. The children are not supposed to use it. They like to go and get it anyway. They start out trying to put ink on paper. They usually end up scribbling all over the table with their "tags". I have named it "The Graffiti Marker." The marker makes them very expressive. I can't bear to throw it out. Good thing for magic erasers!

Glitter Continued

Even after making all the Rock Star Gingerbread we still had some glitter left. The children discovered writing with glitter and glue.
