Marionettes

I found this while thinking about making marionettes with my  6th grade this year.

Check out the "story aprons" !!

8th grade mosaics of seasons

Well, somehow I missed the spring mosaic...I'll get that later!  They turned out pretty good I think...the frames were made from a cut down poplar tree from a friend's house...I like how natural and rustic they are!

8th grade mosaic "Summer"

Well, one mosaic of four (seasons) was done today...these have to be finished by next week (and framed) for the students to present as their parting gift to the school!!  Let's hope they make it!!  Looks like lots of lunch/recess time for 8th graders in Handwork....

They are turning out beautifully!!

Is anyone out there?

Is anyone even reading my blog?  I really do it for myself, but I was wondering...I've started to leave more comments on blogs I visit because I realize it is so fun to know somebody looked at your blog, so leave a comment already!

Oh, and I got full braces 6 days ago.  My students think I am the coolest!
