Art Auction 2016

A few pictures from this year's Fun'rasier.

Our Raccoon Class: 

Plate of Hands

It was a miracle this plate came out of the kiln with all of its digits!  We actually did not put this plate in the auction, but decided to give it as an end of year gift to our director.

Collection of Hearts.

We were missing one child's heart, so we left an empty space in the bottom corner, and when it was fired we gave the heart along with some glue to the winning families.

We used leaves and stamps to make the imprints on the hearts and cut them out with different sized cookie cutters. 

We glazed them in several different shades of red.

Hearts of butterflies

The Hiboux Class:

Two framed owls.  One made from a collage of painted paper, one from finger prints. 

A beautiful bird mobile made from the teacher's drawings.

Dot paintings.

Elephant Class

My mosaic hopscotch.

Fairy Garden, which included a rock I painted to look like a pond.

Elephant basket.

Wild Thing Class

The Wild Things also made some beautiful books.  They were printed in sepia and had the children inside a picture frames.

Giraffe Class

Giraffe related basket, that well ...oops, I forgot to get a picture of.  And I thought I was doing so well?!

The Dot book and canvas painting.

Monkey Class

Tiles with sharpie and watercolors.

Cooking basket, with recipe book of all the cooking they have made over the year.

Afternoon Class

Potted garden.

I think the afternoon class also has a basket, that yep, I forgot to photograph. 

In my defense, it was quite a hectic day!

Donut Seeds

 We do April Fools Day big in our classroom.  From turning their juice into jello to offering them "brown E's" at snack.  Some tricks are more appreciated than others.  Brown paper E's in lieu of real brownies?  Not so much.  But they did love google eyes on the inanimate objects and our pictures!

My kids have my eyes, don't you think?

One of our students brought us a packet of Donut Seeds for April Fools Day.

We thought, why not plant them and see what happens?

Sure enough, a week later, baby donuts sprouted.

We left them alone to see if they would grow more?  They were too small to pick and didn't even have their sprinkles yet. Guess what happened over the weekend?!

Since they looked ripe and finally had their sprinkles, we decided to pick them.  We brought them back to our classroom cut and divided them up, and ate them!

Nothing tastes better than a home grown donut!!!
