Peaceful Holidays

 

It's Christmas Eve

Since mice invaded my desk at school a few weeks ago, I've been feeling some antipathy toward the whole rodent community.

These little fellows may have changed my mind, a tiny bit.

This artist is based in Bath, England.

 

Holiday cards with watercolors and glitter glue!

 

I knew it!!

 

School Thanksgiving Feast

I was handing out plates, utensils and napkins at the beginning of the serving line, so this is the only photo I was able to take. Ms. Hill was next to me serving chicken and turkey, and we had various volunteers helping out, also. The kids loved the whole event.

 

We had a little collage party

I think I take this same picture every year, but these trees are just so pretty.

 

Third Grade: Ms. Hill and I subbed in here for two days

 Look at the floor. Luckily, they are pretty good cleaner-uppers.

More from the gouache workshop

The setup.

The chair next to me, because the table isn't big enough.

 The palette paper that turns out so pretty. Notice the sliced open tube of leaf green. It's hardened, but can still be re-wetted and used.

Gouache workshop today with August Wren

 It was 3 hours of fun, smooshing paint around.

You know who you are.

 

"Please write the numbers from one to ten. And write your name at the top."

 

This is what teachers are dealing with after a year of zoom school, and parents who don't know how to teach their kids how to write their name, or numbers, or letters, or anything. 

What's going on in Rush?

We ate borscht.
