Not Your Average Picasso

Every time I draw something in class I begin by reminding the kids that I am not a very good drawer and that they might have to pretend that it looks like a (insert object here). On Friday we were talking about the beach (which is kind of funny as that is what we ended up picking as our whole week them this week--oh well!) and we were reading a book about going to the beach. It talked about building a sandcastle, so I drew this on the board so the kids could understand a little more what it was talking about. I would have to say that it didn't come out that bad and it really does look like a sandcastle (now the shells are another story :D)

Glamour

Friday afternoon the 5 year olds did not come to class, instead they got to hang out in the green class and take glamour shots. Each person had 4 different outfits, their hair and make-up done and many, many pictures taken.

After lunch I quickly got my lesson stuff all together and then grabbed my camera and headed to the green class. I took pictures of them getting ready (they were going to get the professional photos but I always like having the before parts too) and just enjoyed watching them get ready. There was lots of hairspray and material.

I have uploaded a sample (just a sample as there is over 300 pictures professional and I look over 200 pictures also) of what was taken...can you believe that I get to work with these beautiful/handsome (the boys did not like being called beautiful or told that they had to wear lipstick :D) kids everyday? Remember that there is also one more outfit for each of them and two more different picture styles!!

Walk It Out

Random of the Day: Friday after school I was taking my stuff upstairs when I looked down on the road and there was this guy walking backwards with his shoes in his hand, slapping his legs as he walked. I wonder what his reasoning behind doing it was...there are just somethings that people do here I don't understand!
