I haven't said too much about school so I thought it might be fun to show my latest bulletin board. This project was a lot of fun for the children to do. We went outside and gathered some sand from the big toy area. We glued the sand like glitter to the paper by painting the thinned glue onto the paper and then dumping the sand on top of it and then pouring the sand off. When that dried the kids painted the water with blue water colors.
I had some little shells we had gathered from Bear Lake that I let the kids glue to there beaches and then I gave goldfish to the kids for a snack, but I told them to save at least two for their pictures. But I left it up to them to decide how many they wanted to save. Some poor kids went a head and ate all of theirs. Then they had to sweat it out whether their pictures would have no fish in them. But I'm a softy and I gave them 2 more goldfish. That would be sad to not have any fish in your picture.
So these cute girls have started a new game outside that none of my previous students have ever played. You know how in the movie Castaway, Tom Hanks has a volleyball for a friend and he calls it "Wilson" because that is the brand of volleyball. Well these girls have been taking this ball out to play with as their dog and they have been calling it "Feeman." Then when they come in from recess they give me reports on how Feeman is doing. The other day they came in and told me, "Teacher, somebody kicked Feeman!" It sounds horrible, but really Feeman is a kickball. They tell me all kinds of stuff about their adventures with Feeman and when they carry the ball around they carry it with the name forward like this. I didn't tell them to hold the ball like this for their picture they just do it.
Today the girls didn't take the ball out at recess I noticed, but then one of the girls came racing back in and said, "I got all the way out there without Feeman" They came in from recess and told me that Feeman has a nickname. It's JuLee. They make me smile. I can't wait to hear what they come up with next.

I enjoyed the pictures you put on. The sand, water, and fish pictures were really clever. Thats a cute story about the ball and cute girls.
