Christmas is not Fa la la la la FAR!

November came and went and ½ of us are still working on all that turkey...leftovers are everywhere! Although this might also be true about my home, I’m speaking specifically about my classroom. We got into such a groove with our Thanksgiving artwork, it was hard to shake the tail feathers loose before the holiday arrived. So, we have been working on what was left over the Thanksgiving break and trying to stick a fork in it and call it done! We don’t have a choice! Christmas will be here before we know it and there are too many great lessons to get out of holiday art. As eager as Buddy the Elf, I have told each class how excited I am to do all these artworks before Christmas break and then by the time I finish my sentence, I’ve realized my time is so very limited that I’ll be lucky if we complete just ONE...hard to swallow. But, here we go! Christmas carols are on, holiday dreams and artistic aspirations are engaged, and the tinkering is in full force in the Art Room!
