Most teachers are getting ready to head back and get ready to set up! I am already teaching in a special kindergarten prep pilot program. We have of curse been reading Pete the Cat and talking about him, colors, and of course the rooms in the building-the lunchroom, playground, etc. We made my Pet out of paper and were practicing listening and following directions. After we finished, we put the cats in the hallway. Many of my students were upset that their cats did not have shoes. I told them we would add them the following week. I had some very distressed artist who felt they needed shoes on the cats. So on Friday we got out paper and practiced cutting just circles to add to the feet of our Petes! Some of the kids really were not happy with our basic shoe shape and they made adjustments. But then came Joe (name is changed of course)! Joe loves art and wanted to make the shoes for all 4 feet, draw laces, and the backpack, AND then the LUNCHBOX!!!! I just had to post it. It was so detailed! And I almost forget the GUITAR!
