I have a soft spot for artwork that features kids’ handprints. I really can’t explain it. Is it the personal and unique touch a handprint brings? Maybe! All I know is that the outcome of the art really doesn’t matter. I’ll ooh and aah equally over a handprint butterfly and a handprint pumpkin stem. My colleagues think I’m weird, strangers think I’m strange, and my faithful friends simply accept me as I am. I’d love to hear about the handprint art projects your students and you make! Smiles, Diane

Here’s a question for you! How often do you incorporate partner activities into your teaching plans and what do you like best (or least) about these activities?

Was that two questions?

Thanks for your input!

Are you happy fall is here? I am! Autumn just may be my favorite season of the year! With awesome weather, beautiful colors, fun holidays, football, and tailgating, what’s not to like? Here’s a catchy tune to add to your fall activities. I’d love to hear what you have planned for this season!

Happily,
Diane

Autumn Is Here
(sung to the tune of “The Itsy-Bitsy Spider”)

Autumn is here right now.
The leaves are falling down.
They float from the trees.
They’re yellow, red, and brown.
We see orange pumpkins
Glowing in the sun.
When the season’s fall,
It is fun for everyone!
