Friday, December 11, 2015

It was a long, eventful and emotional week. I learned a former student of mine passed away from a long and hard fight against cancer, my family finally had our 'Gotcha Day' to make our adoption official with our baby, and other mini events happened throughout the week. At the end of the day a student handed me this note and gave me a big hug. As she walked away I asked her to come back and give me another hug. She just held on and smiled. It's amazing how kind words and nice gestures can turn a persons day/week around. #ilovemyjob #emotionalwreck #rak #paks #tootles #bekindtooneanother

I absolutely love these first grade trees. The look so much better, brighter, and sparkly in person. The entire background has a coat on fine red glitter--we love sparkles! #firstgrade #elementaryart #ilovemyjob #christmastree #glitter #winterart #collage

Hey Mrs. Hopps if his suit is hanging up in his closet is he naked somewhere? As the class bursts out hysterically laughing! 🎄 #itsbeginningtolookalotlikechristmas #santascloset #kindergarten #ilovemyjob #elementaryart

I have a love hate relationship with oil pastels. When used neatly some pretty amazing artwork can happen. I can't stand seeing oil pastel smears and smudges in the background! #fifthgrade #candycanes #itsbeginningtolookalotlikechristmas #ilovemyjob #artteacherproblems #elementaryart

Second grade read the book Mooseltoe and then created these beauties. #secondgrade #ilovemyjob #mooseltoe #itsbeginningtolookalotlikechristmas
