Skirt Project: Another New One

November 20, 2007

Another New One

I'm pretty excited to wear today's skirt. Actually, I'm just pretty excited! Anyway, today's skirt is new, another gift from Pam. It's white A-line with black piping at the bottom and a big black flower on the front. I wasn't able to zip it up a few months ago, it fits perfectly now... It's going to be a short week at school. Today is my only full day, and tomorrow I go home! Yippee!

On the bus... wherever the day takes you.

I got so many compliments on my skirt today! Thanks Pam!

I had a pretty inspiring day today with lots of art making.

This is Jorge's self portrait. He is getting an award next week for following directions. Yay Jorge!
In AP (my advanced class) we are working on a major project incorporating a crane of some kind. One of my students brought her work today and it's going to be amazing. It's a cut glass origami crane. Her parents are artists and own a glass gallery called Galeria Em near the Marina. I've been wanting to check it out, so I went with her after school to her parent's workshop.

The following pictures and video clips are for my kids tomorrow, as the trip inspired a teachable moment.
