Yellow Week

Here are a few images from our Yellow Week. Next week is Green Week, so check back soon.

spring tulips

This small time lapse does not show the entire process of the tulip opening, but was certainly a learning process for me, plus there is a story about those 4 tulips. During the past 4 years that I have been teaching at Enslow we (staff and students) have been making efforts to improve the school's outside "curb" appeal. We have planted many flower bulbs, trees, and shrubs. This year the red tulips were so incredibly lovely. However, two days ago, someone picked every single blooming tulip! I found these four tulips, already picked, lying lonely on the ground. So, I decided to try to forever capture their blooming life. However, as it is, a school day is only so long, so the entire blooming process was not captured. Of course when I came to school this morning, the tulips were open in their full form. C'est la vie! Enjoy.

Art Room Time Lapse

Today I captured the chaos of the art room at the end of the semester in time lapse form. I think it really conveys the feeling of busy, busy, work and a little fun, too. :) Enjoy!

Shadows

Early this morning, this was a fleeting moment that I happened upon. Usually I drop off my belongings in my classroom then head straight for the cafeteria for my morning coffee/tea. This morning, because I was preparing for Enslow's annual Art Hop I hung out in my classroom and was able to catch this perfect sight. Happy Tuesday!

Checking blood glucose

Oh, the joys of the Health Fair!

lunch

Hot dogs for lunch today, served with cole slaw and sauce. Strawberries and bananas in strawberry gelatin for dessert. A choice of white, chocolate, or strawberry milk is the drink.

Welcome back

So, I've decided as the year progresses to attempt to add a variety of photos showing Enslow Middle School from a Variety of perspectives. I know it's a late start, but better late than never! Enjoy.
