The Restaurant

We are so blessed to have talented and supportive parents in our Christian school community, and one such person is my friend Christine Winter!
She blesses our class with her volunteer drama classes.
Yesterday, with the help of my daughter, the class put on two small group plays about going to a restaurant. 
(It was so much fun to watch them!)
Here's a few pics from their little rehearsals and the performances on the stage.












Initial Art

Here's a look at our latest art activity, "Initial Art!"
Super simple!
1. Make the initials of your students out of painter's tape.
2. Let the students go crazy with the paint.
3. Remove the tape, and VOILA!
