Project 365 - May 12

 I am almost caught up with the blog!!! 

May 12 - These are a few purple finch babies in the column of our porch.  Today was their last full day in the nest!

May 11 - One of my students did a Scary Face Contest (complete with Lego trophies!!) as part of his report on Bigfoot!  These kids make me laugh!

 May 10 - This was on a wall in Natchez last weekend, and I just thought it made a nice pic!

 May 9 - Is it Monday again?  My sentiments, exactly!!!!

May 8 - You might not be able to tell too much in this picture, but I took it in Natchez looking across the Misssissippi River at some of the flooding in Vidalia.

May 7 - Bruce and I went to Natchez for weekend.  This is me with Ava, his cousin's oldest child, at a birthday party!

May 6 - This is a beautiful purple tulip that one of my students brought me for Teacher Appreciation Week!! 

May 5 - This is not something that one of my students made, but when I went across the hall today, this was laying on the table, and it just cracked me up!  Maybe this child's mom is a good chef!!!

May 4 - Okay...I just love this!!!  Our PTO, as part of Teacher Appreciation Week, delivered cheesecake to all the teachers this afternoon.  It happened to come at just the right time of day for me, you know, the time when you aren't sure you can make it the rest of the afternoon!!  :)  I loved their display.  Priceless!!!

 May 3 - I LOVE this picture in black and white!!!

May 2 - Today is the beginning of Teacher Appreciation Week.  Letters like this one from a sweet third grader remind me what teaching is all about!  My favorite part is the second to last sentence, "The way you don't just give us the answers when we ask a question about something helps us learn more because we have to figure it out by ourselves!"  :)

May 1 - My third graders researched African masks, and then they did this string, glue, foil, shoe polish, steel wool art project with them.  I really like the way they turned out, and this one is my favorite!  This project was one of those that I was scared to do at first because of all that was involved, but once I finally got the courage to start the process, it wasn't so bad after all!
