Alright.. so this has nothing to do with the art education world... more so just the art world. As an art teacher, I happen to be really into interior design, too.

Shaving Cream Snowfriend

Have you seen or heard of this?! I love it! It's one part shaving cream and one part glue. We made these snowfriends in my Life Skills class and 4:1:1 class, but this can easily be done with Kinders and 1st graders too!

Peter Max Space Scapes

These were done with my long term sub. Although I can not take credit for this lesson, I thought they were too fabulous not to share!

So... I go back to work tomorrow : (. Although, I love my job, I really don't want my maternity leave to end. I miss my little Abe just thinking about it (and he's sleeping right in front of me!). However... I can't be like ol' Mona here and start complaining, I am very thankful to even have a career to return to. My timing couldn't have been more perfect, coming back from Thanksgiving break, being with family, and I even had my ten year high school reunion this weekend! Seeing old friends who are new mommies going through the same thing was really nice.

So here I am art bloggers, I'm back : )- hopefully posting soon. It might take me a little bit to get organized and back into the swing of things (June was a long time ago!), but keep a look out for me! Hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving and a very blessed holiday season.

Thought I'd pop in and take a break from my little fuss bus of a baby. Hope everyone had a successful Open House this year! Enjoy : - )

Welcome Baby Abram!

Just thought I'd share the wonderful reason I will be out for the beginning of this school year- welcome to the world baby Abram! Weighing in at 8 lbs 3 oz, 21 1/2 inches long - he's by far my best creation yet : )

Hope you all had a great, successful, and fun first day to the school year.. I know I wouldn't have spent mine any other way.

Long Term Sub (Part 2)

I thought I'd share the template I used for my long term absence in case anyone wanted a starting off point for whenever they may need a long term sub. I apologize ahead of time, I use Pages on my Mac and tried saving it as a Word Document so that you can edit it yourself, but for some reason the boxes get all mixed up, so I've attached a pdf. If you'd like a copy that you can just type on to, I'd be more than happy to send you the template with just the prompts and no boxes. Hope this helps!

Long Term Sub (Pt. 1)

Hello, friends... just looking for some feedback here. As summer is winding down and with school starting very soon, I am just making my finishing touches on my "Long Term Substitue Bible." I wasn't able to get back into my room until this past Monday, so I met again with my sub to put away supplies and "show her the ropes," so I've already explained a lot to her. However, as it is with all teachers, we really like to make sure everything is in order and tip top shape.

Although I won't be back from maternity till after Thanksgiving, I know how this feels.
