I would like to place an order for some colder weather please.

So very, very warm. I woke up from a nap on the couch to find the house stiflingly hot. Ick. I hate hot weather. Since I can't live in a swimming pool or a lake during this kind of weather I have no use for it. Bring back the mid seventies with a bit of a breeze and I'll be happy.
My little monsters seem to be enjoying their classes. It's a lot harder to tell with the older group, they are soooo quiet. It's kind of creepy in there. Some of the boys were getting a little too riled up today and I had to keep "yelling at them" to keep it down for the class next door.
Made yet another trip to Michaels today. I need to try to monitor the use of paint a little better, my younger groups have been plowing through the paint. EEK!
I was wrapping up the projects on Ancient Egypt today in Art Through History and two of my girls could not understand why I wouldn't let them do a ladybug and a turtle instead of an icky nasty scarab on their river stone. Hey, I told them they could paint the other side like a ladybug and a turtle tomorrow after their side with the beetle has dried, but they both nixed it! What the heck?! I'm trying to work with you gals! Ladybugs have nothing to do with Ancient Egypt.
The school has declared tomorrow Cartoon Day for the kids to wear something with a cartoon character on it or to dress up as their favorite character so I've decided to let my Draw and Sketch class do cartoon characters tomorrow.

Well, I haven't been posting very much the last couple of weeks since I've been keeping horrible hours, but I am teaching for the Ohlone for Kids Summer Program and am teaching three classes for them over at Mission San Jose High School. One of the classes I am teaching is Art Through History.
