ARART app

Hey everyone I know you all have been missing me right?   Well things are going great we were working on are Square 1 art projects which most of them I have posted in the passed.  My fifth graders did a wonderful self portrait which I would post but it has a picture of them so I won't do that.  

But any way I found this app the called ARART.  It is pretty cool you can make a few paintings come to life and move. I tell my students that I have the power to make panting come to life. They think it is great.  

So if you have a iPhone or a iPad. Give it a try.  

More fun to come

So please stay tuned in.

Any thoughts.

Ok we all seen when they take the can and make it into a face or a fish.  But I smashed this can today and made it stand up.  It got me thinking.  What can we make with this can standing up like that.  I need sometime to think about it.  I haven't could up with anything clever yet.  But I will be working on it.  So my question to all of you is what would you do with it??? Let me know thanks  

New flare to my room

So I found this on Pinterest which lead me to k6art.com. And I thought what a great project for my 1st grades.  We talked about different color groups. They enjoyed it plus it adds a little flare to my room. They love seeing what they made as a group hanging in my room.  

Grrr pencils.

Ok I know that Ticonderoga have the worlds best pencils. (or are they).  I am not sure if I keep getting the bad  boxes or what.   I have sharpen in both electric and hand crank sharpener.  Must of the time when we sharpen the pencil lead has a tiny crack in it and it breaks off.  This will happen a few times.  This is the 3rd week of school and my pencil are almost nothing.   Grrr.  That's all.   

Getting some love.

I just checked my email and I got a shock.  Artsonia just told me that they need a little write up on their Facebook page about my supply holder I made.  So please head on over there and give a like to Artsonia and get a like to the write up they did about me

Thanks do much Artsonia
