The Sweetest Days

Cylinder Block Work

Pink Tower Perfectionist

 Ah Orientation Days are here.  These are pictures from my last two days at Cork Street.  They really are the sweetest days.  The children are so excited and want to do everything and want so much to impress you with what they already know.  They are some of the easiest and most enjoyable conversations I ever have.  So easy it is to make friends with these new children.

New Cosy Corner

The Quinpool Campus just got a whole lot more cosy with the revamp of our cosy corner.  I especially love the fake wood burning fire!  Just have to add the small rug!  A cosy space for two!  

Still talking about Mermaids

That sweet girl who drew the inspiration for our mermaid door is still feeling inspired by her.  Such a beautiful drawing~we had to share it with you!

A Week of Fairy Tales

Our first week if Fairytale camp went really quickly.  Here are some

of the highlights.

Crafty Moment

I had one of those aha moments today when I was working on the Quinpool classroom.  I have had the map of the world in cork for about a year or so.  Thinking it would be cool in my office.  I never got around to putting it up and I wasn't sure where I wanted it to go.  Today, as I moved the box around and then my very ordinary classroom bulletin board around trying to decide where it should hang the idea clicked.  

I grabbed my blue acrylic paint and watered it down and then brushed it on my plain cork board.  After it dried I stuck down the continents!  It's lovely and now I have a very cool cork board suitable for flag pinning and pinning exciting places that our children travel to.  The blue paint was brilliant and really looks like water.  I am sure I bought the cork board map at deserres.  The other cork board is an inexpensive one from walmart I think.
