Back to School...

Well, it is time to face it... Summer Vacation is over.

It's been good and full of memories. 

Now it's time to get things ready for the classroom and students!

We decided at our school to do a "Word of the Week" to help them understand terms on their STAAR test.

This is the wall I designed for the hall to post the word of the week on.

Go here to find our list of words.

          We also are have a school theme every year that I try to incorporate into the art room some how...

This is the big main center piece for the quote banner...

each student will do a piece for the banner using a quote related to the theme...

These are my examples above.

to see what the kids produce...

I wanted every principal at MMS and my daughter's Kindergarden teacher to have a gift to start the school year off right. These are button blooms we made using the school colors. They are so fun to make!

May be a possible future DIY blog post...
