Imagination and Creativity

My last joy school week was a lot of fun. The unit was the joy of imagination and creativity. It really is a true joy to teach. Here are a few pictures of the kids being creative and imaginative on Monday.

Dr. Laurie at free play time

Chef Christian

They are creating pictures out of buttons, spaghetti noodles,and straw pieces. I was a little creative to come up with those supplies. They made up really cute stories about what they were gluing. Christian's was a truck with wheels. Then it started raining straw raindrops. Then there was a chicken crossing the road, etc.

Just a few fun pictures from Wednesday.

Unfortunately, Laurie was sick that day, but Mr. Nobody came back! There he is in the back chair. We decided to have snack time at a restaurant. "Mr. Nobody, please hold up your menu for the picture!" As a side note, I later learned that Sam was frightened by Mr. Nobody. We politely had to ask him to leave. He was OK with that. We opened the door and out he went. Maybe another day he'll come again.

The boys loved painting for free play time! There were other options too, but this was the favorite.

Sam with the roller.
"Careful not to drip the paint on the floor please... Oh, you're right. The drop cloth will catch the drips."

They had so much fun painting, that when class was over, they painted the front porch. It needs it too. Please imagine that the pollen isn't there. It'll be a prettier picture.

This week, if Christian gets better, I will teach the Joy of Family Identity and Pride. It'll be neat. I only teach 2 more weeks this year. It has gone by so quickly, I am kinda sad.
