the part of my job i enjoy.

a big part of my job is keeping the classroom looking cute and colorful. we're required to hang up a certain amount of the children's art. we're also required to change the windows regularly, and make "seasonal" displays.

we just created my favorite window art that we've ever made.



i love it, i love it. i made the owls! they kind of look like penguins, but i don't even care. i whipped those out of nowhere.

the other teacher put their names on acorns in little piles at the bottom of the trees. we definately met the "cute" requirement. also, there's a girl in my class named sarah. my older sister's name is sarah, and i feel super weird being in charge of this little girl. but i do get a kick out of saying "sarah, dirt is not food. don't eat dirt."



and we put our names on the owls. note that some of the leaves have tissue paper glued on them. we didn't want their nasty art ruining our display, so we just had them glue some tissue paper on about half of the leaves.



this is the beginning, only the beginning, of our halloween art. we have big plans. spiders made from their hand prints, pumpkins everywhere. you just wait. (note: we won the "decorating contest" in the spring, and feel the constant need to overachieve as a result).



and we also have to change up the door every now and then with all of their names on it. these are supposed to look like those little blocks that they build with...i don't know how else to describe them...little blocks. but someone told me they look like ice cubes. oh well! one time i cut out a bunch of giant crayons with their names written on them, and that was pretty cute. it's hard to be creative over and over again.
