Hey Teachers, Nice Job at Art Class!

Teachers Week was lots of fun, as usual.  We were spiritually encouraged and challenged during the morning and afternoon sessions, and we learned about Anabaptist history, class management, and more during the breakout sessions.  
The afternoon art sessions focused on "history art" -- sandpaper cave paintings, coffee filter Lincoln pennies, Chinese brush painting, Lewis and Clark journal entries, Medieval illuminated letters, and ancient papyrus scrolls.  
We were so busy having fun that we forgot to take pictures of much that was going on.  (If you were there and have pictures, please share!)  The conversations at meals and in the evenings were stimulating and invigorating.  We're almost ready to get back into the classroom and get going!  (Orchestra camp awaits . . . .)

They also made origami swans.  Jeff said that whoever made the smallest one got a special drink.  That is a dime, by the way.
