Happy thanksgiving! I hope all of you have had a good one! I spent time with my family! Anyone going to Black Friday sales?? I'm not. I'm going on the pottery walk on Saturday. In my town the potters in town put their wares on sale on the first weekend in December. This year it's this weekend and I shop for Xmas gifts and support my local potters! Mizz Mac

It's a cold, rainy day here in the South!

Anybody ready for hot chocolate? Our weather here in Middle Georgia is weird- the northern part could actually get snow or some sort of frozen precipitation tomorrow. the middle and southern area will probably get rain. We are getting hit with cold weather for Thanksgiving and will probably be in shorts and flip flops for Christmas!!
  Rainy days with kids out of school are a good time to do art/crafts. For ideas either check out my store on TPT or search for my summer blogs.  Grandparents do love those handmade gifts from grandchildren.

Happy Thanksgiving!!

I am truly thankful to be alive and well. Thirteen years ago on a rainy Thanksgiving morning my family and I headed to Birmingham, Ala to have a feast with my husband's aunt and cousins. We had a "Great Entanglement with a guardrail" (my husband calls it) when a tire blew and we hit the guardrail on the interstate. Instead of rolling over we slid down the rail and eventually rode up on top of the guardrail. We continued to bounce a ways down the rail, puncturing the gas tank which caught the car on fire. When we stopped, the fire subsided long enough for my family to get out safely, all except me! I was slow and somehow caught on fire when I jumped out. I was burned over 15 percent of my body and was taken to the Augusta Burn Center. I was lucky to have fine doctors on duty and I am fine now. I still hurt occasionally due to some nerve damage but nothing like I did. That is what I am thankful for every Thanksgiving!!

Those of you who teach this week- Please remember "It's a GREAT time for those art projects which can also be used for review work!" Mizz Mac

Happy Holidays art projects

So you have only two or three weeks left to make those holiday gifts or art projects. You will also need to set aside time to rehearse for those holiday programs. And there are those Common Core Standards still to be met! What are you going to do?  Try linking those art projects/gifts with the Common Core Standards or review what has been covered already! Need a bundle? Try this:

A new freebie for the holidays!!


This is my newest free art project on TPT! It is a lot of fun to paint and decorate with the older children.
Younger children could stamp on the plates with help from adults. Mizz Mac

Thanksgiving! It's going to be late this year!

Have you noticed it? Thanksgiving is going to be late this year! WOW! Are you looking for something educational and creative and enjoyable? I have posted a new project on Teachers pay teachers that is a Thanksgiving mural but it could be a bulletin board. It could take several lessons. Also, the class could also be divided into groups and work on the different panels to finish in one class period.
