Children of G-d

These are forever in my heart and pr-yers.
I will miss them.
We know we will see each other again.

Illustrations and Imitations

Somehow, this got sketched on the whiteboard
during a social studies group presentation.
I may or may not have encouraged the creativity...
only after class was over.
Kids know just what to write to make me smile sometimes.
One of my students gave this to me.
It's me alright. "Just go."
Now I know what I sound like to my students
during class time..."let's keep moving guys"
Pretty creative, Sally. Keep on.

Pre-Thailand Vacation Music


Funny what happens when you adjust the speed and pitch 
of a recording like I did for the second one.
The first recording is clean and edit free!
It's a good thing I'm about to fly off to Thailand
otherwise this cabin/city fever I'm feeling
will produce more songs than pictures.
Much love. Be well.

Hot Pineapple Tang

A normal school night...
Niemi family, this one's for you.
There's nothing that feels so Chinese, 

yet so American to me
as drinking hot pineapple TANG from
my baby Thor party cup, all the while, thinking of you
and wanting to play liars dice.

Art Wednesday!!!

We worked with different levels of light/shading.
Light, Meduim, and Dark.
I printed a halftone poster out onto 16 sheets of paper
and gave each student 2 sheets to color
with 3 different crayons.
Yellow (light-small dots), Orange (medium sized dots),
and Blue (dark-big dots).
When they are done, I will put all of the pieces together.
Should be a unique experience for them.
Until then, they get to stare at my example piece, hmhm. 
I've always like to imagine and create.
I hope that it rubs off on my students.
Cheers!
