What?

Oh.
It's thursday and I haven't posted yet.
What can I say...I'm just too busy teaching.  ; )

We did have Inservice on Monday, so the students were off doing their
own thing, and maybe even--da da DA...homework!

Several students are sick and it appears that they have given it to me.
I continue to drag myself around.  Hopefully I can make it through the
next 2 days.   Perhaps it's an ear infection, because symptoms come and
go, much like they did when my kids had them when they were smaller.

The Advanced students are pretty busy:
Kady is creating a mobile.  She first painted watercolor paper in an abstract
pattern.  Then she traced and cut out stars.  Next she scored and folded them
to add a 3D quality to them.  She then glued 2 back to back.  When that's
finished she will use reed and colored string to create the mobile.

Kristi is working on an oil pastel of cherry blossoms and it looks great.
Yesterday she was erasing the pencil marks, so I think she's nearing completion.

Art I
We are working on a COLOR unit.  The students are painting a color wheel and
adding notes to use on quizzes.  The goal is to get them ready for that section of
their Semester final.

Photography
Students are working on various assignments on the Wiki.  One due this week
is Assignment 2--10 things that represent you.
Photojournaling continues...

Graphic Design
There are quite a few assignments on my Wiki that students are trying.

I add assignments each week to give students a variety to choose from.

TAG
HS--we continue with Advisory activities.  Hopefully we will be able to
work on a robot and schedule a lunch seminar soon!

Elem--I have visited classrooms and will begin individual plans, and letters home.
I will also head over to the Middle School to spend some time with Mrs. Boeve, as
she will be working with students there.

Well.  Time for some more 7Up.  Came home and
crashed after school, now wide awake at 12:15AM.  Sigh...
