Music and Art have always been my first loves, and my favorite is drawing cartoons. Here is my latest "Snoopy" creation.

Laughter is the best medicine.
I've been home from work due to illness. Lying in my bed has allowed my to focus on myself - quiet the body, and quiet the mind. Over these two days I've been rekindling "my favorite things to do" in my mind.

What would Mozart do?
Of course the students were just as excited to start each Music class, and the students enthusiacally cycled through the stations every class day. A nonformal poll resulted in a concensus of the Austrian Fall painting and Leopold Mozart's Instagram being the favorite of the music classes.
Art class rocks
Initially this project started out as "pet rocks," but then I thought of a wonderful way to bring the outdoors inside - so we made a class rock garden. The rocks rested peacefully on the art class window sill, and the students enjoyed visiting the "people inspired" rocks whenever they came to class.
Fall into Autumn
Leaves are falling from the trees, and people and animals are preparing for the Harvest. We are fully enthralled in this month's theme "Autumn." Our latest projects include a 3d Harvest Cornecopia and fall leaf drawings.
"We love art class" was the refrain from my 4th grade class students today, and hearing how much they enjoy my art class just warms my heart. I love art class too!
