Art in the Classroom

 image

Letting littles paint is not for the faint of heart.

Multiply that by 23 and you get a huge mess in the classroom,

but you also get 23 kids exposed to paint, brushes, color, texture, and fun. 

Twenty three sets of hands that get to experience something new.
Paint on a brush for the first time!

Most of all you get to see creativity and pride swell up as you hang

their creations upon the wall for all who enter our room to see.

Kid art projects are not always easy to manage,

but they are always worth a couple of afternoons of chaos.

Back to Reality

The Monday coming back from winter break is hard on me and it's super hard for the kiddos in my classroom.  Routines have been off for three weeks, bedtimes wonky, and little people generally getting to do whatever they want whenever they want.  So today will be all about grace for myself and for them.

This is not my first rodeo, so I set up a regular, normal, nothing is unusual day for them (and for me).  We'll go over the classroom rules about a million times.  We'll talk and write and share about all that we did over break.  Then tomorrow we'll be back in our routines and ready to conquer the last half of second grade together!

I know the rest of the school year is going to fly by.

  

 Ready to be awesome together!

Time to get to it!

Happy Monday ;)
