school creativity

most people know this has not been my rock-star year at school, but there are a few things that are appropriate for this blog.

i mentioned loving color earlier and this was my way of introducing it into my classroom. i bought tons of paper lanterns from Michaels (and yes, we rode the ding while we were there :-) ) before school started...they were $1 a piece i believe. when fishing through the Oriental Trading catalog i saw some decorate your own paper lanterns and thought this would be a great way for each of my kids to express him/herself and have it displayed in the classroom. they did a great job. these have been hanging since the 1st week of school and i just love seeing them when i walk into my room. they seem to distract me from the 800 piles of papers and mess that need to be cleaned up!
