Hello, summer school.

I'll be co-teaching with a friend of mine. The program is a national summer enrichment/camp/project based learning experience called Horizons.

8th Grade Writing

 I'm so proud of how hard they worked!  The last one was typed out by the student, and he only needed a little help with the editing. These kids all have intellectual and physical disabilities. They decorated my photocopied drawings, and now their writing is in our showcase in the main hallway!

Sketchbook Sunday

My Mugwort Painting

Apparently, this plant is one of those horrid invasive species. I learned this at Letchworth State park where I took the above photo. Below is my painting of what is really a pretty plant, poor thing.

Making Stuff

I was cutting, gluing, painting, coloring, folding, stapling, fluffing, and generally making a nice creative mess.

Our flowers

The eighth graders and I made tissue paper flowers for Cinco de Mayo.

I like Pinterest!

The kinders are writing!

The 5 year olds are finally getting it!  Hafsa wrote: I like flowers, and I can see a rainbow. In September, she was an English beginner!
