Bradford Pear Blooms 71:2011

The Bradford Pear trees at Steed Elementary were in bloom last week. While I'm not a big fan of the trees themselves, their blooms are very pretty. The accompanying pollen wreaks havoc with everyone's allergies, however. I had to hold my breath while taking these photos. I used one of our new school cameras, a Canon A495.

Seussical Second Graders 70:2011

Our 2nd graders put on a great Dr. Seuss music program last night. They had so much energy and joy all week long. I loved the Green Eggs and Ham song the best, and so did they. Our music student teacher, Miss Jackson, directed the program with Mrs. Dunaway, and it was so cute!

Swingin' Art 69:2011 #365project

This happy sculpture is one of two that brighten up the exterior of our library. I don't know who made it or how long it's been there. I'll have to investigate! Anyway it's a nice little surprise when you take a shortcut around the library. I think I love the wild hair the most!

Smiles 65:2011 #365project

The boy loves his aunt! We enjoyed visiting our college son and my sister-in-law's family this weekend. We're lucky that our son can go to school out of state and still have family close by. Today's DailyShoot assignment was a smile. =) Taken with iPod Touch.

I Can Read With My Eyes Shut 63:2011

On Monday, I read Dr. Seuss' I Can Read With My Eyes Shut! to PreK classes. We shut our eyes tight, to see if we could read with our eyes shut, or if it made our eyebrows too hot. The DailyShoot assignment for today is something amusing. I think the kids' scrunched up expressions are a hoot!

After the Bus Leaves 62:2011

I do bus duty after school every day. This bench seems so lonely after the bus arrives to take kids home. Today it was very windy, and the Bradford Pear trees were starting to bloom, so everyone's allergies were acting up. The DailyShoot assignment for today was to capture shadows.

Foot Book 60:2011

The March bulletin boards are already going up! Here's one from Mrs. Johnson, based on Dr. Seuss' The Foot Book. Kinders made opposite pairs to go up on the big foot outside one of the room's (unused) doors. Mrs. Johnson has such great ideas! We just need a larger laminator, one wide enough to handle all her creations.
