Ty's bag, Picasso, and some random shots

Today we learned about Ty. Sterling couldn't find her bag this morning...I think she may be distracted since she has a new baby brother!!! Congratulations to Sterling's family.

Ty had a lot to share. He loves football, even coming dressed in his football jersey with a photo of him in the same jersey! He also had his gloves he uses when he rides his quad. He had a little tiny guitar that lights up from a battery. Room 8 loved that guitar.

This afternoon we looked at a few paintings by Picasso. We especially looked at one titled "Girl in the Mirror." Then I led them through drawing a face with only half of it in profile. Like Picasso, we don't have to use the usual colors for faces, lips, eyes, etc. We finished the drawing, and now we're using oil pastels to color them. We didn't finish...but we'll work on them more next week.




Nikkiah asked me yesterday if I had taken a photo of her with her bear when she shared her bag. I hadn't. She wanted to know if she could bring it back so I could take a picture. Sure, Nikkiah!

As we were going outside this afternoon for "free Friday P.E.", Adam asked me if I'd take a picture for the blog of him hanging upside down. You bet I will, Adam! Doesn't he look great hanging upside down? Playing on this dome and hanging upside down consumes a lot of recess time for some of the kids in Room 8!

At the end of the day, Ryan came up and asked me if the inside of your eye was always red. I asked him to show me the part he was talking about....

The wonderful little people in Room 8...don't they make you smile?
