oooooh scary!

The kids love it, but I don't know if painting is the favourite activity of any teacher. The potential/likely chaos, the clean-up, the messy desks, the paint on kids, the memory of students wiping their painty hands repeatedly upon their pants... Yes, it can strike fear in my heart.

But they love it right? So plans were made to paint our buildings. We are learning about line and are using horizontal and vertical line to draw buildings with some paint to finish it up. Eventually we'll have a little city formed up on a bulletin board to show our use of line.

But alas our dirty paint shirts had been thrown out at the end of last year and I didn't know that rather important detail until I went on a search for those stinky painty things. Our painting session would have to commence without them. Gulp. Ok, I know that the paint washes out of clothes, but I still don't want to send home your kiddies all covered in paint!

I didn't need to worry apparently. They worked so nicely (see video) that it made me think that we could do this waaaaay more often. It was actually fun for all of us!
