The Mad Chatters thread Part 2

[The_Horned_King]

Paige, like i was saying in the post they are kinda unorthodox, but I think the kids will get a real kick out of them. I try to make all my lessons mean something. We either will be talkign about an artist/period or I attach the lesson to thier main classroom instruction. it's more meanignful to them that way.

 

[The_Horned_King]

Well it's off to never never land! Goodnight all!

 

[paigevz]

Oh, yeah, they'll love those..............

 

[paigevz]

G'night King!

Well Jay so far the favorite lesson would have to be the chalk Pastel Cardinal's I had my 4th graders do( Ohios state bird...which they are starting to learn about)

Favorite I plan on doing.... between 2 right now, well have to see how they go, they are kinda experimential.
1) We will discuss cave paintings, showing them examples. Then as a a class we will use the large roll paper and make a cave wall that we will make cave drawings ont o represnt ourselves and out class. i'm going to have every class and grade do this and hang them in the halls.
2) Talking about Michelangelo and how he had to lie on his back to paint the cceilign of the sistine chapel. We will tape paper to the bottoms of our desk and use markers(paint would be too messy for littleones) and "paint" a scene.

Sounds AWESOME!! Fun, educational, creative...awesome!

Goodnight horned king!

And, no, I ate the last of it raw tonight, talking to you! Do you have spies or something?????????????????

Hee, hee, hee...no spies...I just know my cousins (actually I know myself, I would have done the same thing)!

Nick is a DOLL!! What a cutie! Is that a Big Bad Wolf shirt? Jason would love one of those!

 

[paigevz]

Thanks, we like him! We found the shirt at the Contemporary's gift shop...........not the one on the one side with all the toys, but the one across the way.

I was hoping to find 3 Pigs Disney style for Luke (yep, I still like to match 'em), but never did.

 

[paigevz]

You know, that Alice looks a bit spooky to me in that pic........maybe she was on duty a little too long...............

 

[paigevz]

Have I never shown you my kids before?

Here's one with Luke in it too..............

 

[jaycns]

You know, that Alice looks a bit spooky to me in that pic........maybe she was on duty a little too long...............

Oooookay...since you said somethin' first... I was thinking that too...well, that and wondering why they cast her as Alice when she has such dark natural hair (you can see it in the photos and her eyebrows). SSHHHH...don't let anyone hear this. I once saw a thread where others got big time bashed for commenting on a CM's "look alikeness".

 

[jaycns]

Here's one with Luke in it too..............

I just love little boys (been partial to them since I had three myself). And those are two ADORABLE little guys! Nick has such big eyes. You are gonna have problems beating the girls off of him any time now!! Good luck with that one!! And Luke has such sweet little cheeks...how do you ever manage to say no when he looks up at you?! Both of them have such bright smiles! I know his dragon shirt is not a Disney one, but that looks like Mulan's dragon, Mushu! Another shirt Jason would want to add to his collection.

**SSHHH. Don't tell, but, I still do the matching thing too. One day I figure I will have to gift them with some time with a therapist to help them recover from all of the things I made them wear as kids.**

 

[paigevz]

Yes, if I can't match them exactly, I like to mirror match the colors.........like in that pic, the blues, silver/grays and blacks match.........just what is background and accent on one is opposite on the other.

I never noticed, but that dragon DOES look like Mushu!

I can't say no to Luke all that often, actually, his dad says I spoil him.........I waited 7 years for another baby, and he was only conceived by fertility drugs. But I am a teacher, I know how to set limits and stick with them, so when I DO say no, it's no.

Nick already has girl issues. His best little friend and he were talking about the middle school dances and who to ask, and the friend told him he didn't know what Nick was worried about, any of the girls will go with him, he's cool and popular and wears the best clothes and has a cell phone (well, that's because grandma buys the clothes). The cell is so we don't have to put in an extra land line upstairs and don't have to have our phones tied up.

I gotta go to bed, Jay. See you Monday!

Have a good weekend and take a quick peek at your email!
Goodnight!!

 

[Bbgrizzle]

Good morning! I woke up at 5:00 and I can't go back to sleep. Looks like it's still raining!

Jay! What about my email, lady? If you send one to Paige, you gotta send one to me. That's the rules!
