Rainbow Jell-O and Sunflower Hands


So this is to wrap up the last post. I took pictures of the rainbow jello last week and just got a chance to upload them today. The jello I got a chance to take pictures of did not come out right. As you can tell the red, orange and yellow ran together thanks to the quick set method not quick setting :), but you get the idea.


Here is an idea I came up with on the way to school yesterday morning. I can't take all the credit I am sure I just put several different activities together or I saw it somewhere and just forgot. But I thought it was pretty cool and very process oriented. While doing the project with my class we talked about the shape of the paper plate, the color we painted it, the position we glued the plate to the paper, the position of the stem and on and on and on.... You get the picture. We also worked on fine motor skills like picking up the sunflower seeds (pincer grasp) and squeezing the glue. I love art projects like that. Lots of language for my little kiddos! Fun Fun Stuff!

School Stuff

Going to start this blog off with school stuff, not yet summer so I am still on the what to do at school mind-set. One of my most favorite things to do with my "friends" (AKA students) is to tape paper under the table and lay on our backs and draw. This is something I do a lot in my class and the kids just love it.

OH and since our theme is rain and rainbows this week we are making rainbow jello, got it off a website or from my friend Kristi (I can't remember, sorry Kristi) my first year teaching and the kids just love it. We make a jello color a day and layer it into a cup. On he last day we dump it out, add cool whip and enjoy! YUM On top of that what ever color we are working on that day we play "I spy". When my friends find the colors in the room I take a picture of them and we make it into a color picture rainbow. I will post pictures after we are finished. I just love rainbows......

Krazy Obsessions

Ok, here I go! I don't know how often this will be updated, we will have to wait and see during he summer when I have more time. Just thought this would be a wonderful way for me to post things that are not family related and have a Blog just for ME. I guess I am following in my dear friend Kristi's footsteps.
I don't really know where this blog will go or what I will post. It may be about school, or crafts that I am working on at home, or..... I don't know. You will have to wait and see.
