Pinterest crazy!

Now that I am out of school I have found myself spending quite a bit of time on Pinterest. I'm planning a wedding you know so of course I am gathering ideas but I also look to Pinterest for alternative ways to do things. 

This week I have tried putting plastic bags half full of water into these shoes and freezing them so they will stretch. (What can I say I love five dollar shoes!?😄)

Let's just say I will try on said five dollar shoes next time.

My other test has been cinnamon in my bathroom sink. I have ants for no apparent reason other than my sink looks like a good home I suppose. 

Ants are gone thanks to Terro not cinnamon but that's okay. My last Pinterest crazy has been writing down every time I spend money which isn't crazy at all. It's actually been very helpful. I am trying to budget like always but you know it's tough being a new graduate and all. I bought this adorable little notebook that fits in my wallet to keep track of everything! 

So there is some of my favorite Pinterest things lately. I know you all enjoy Pinterest as much as me. Share those pins!

Going home or back to HM Elementary!

Last week I had the pleasure of getting to sub for a whole week in the art room at the elementary school I student taught at. It really was a win for me all around because obviously I love the art teacher, the kids, and staff! 

We did a group activity Friday which was really awesome to watch because it involved planning, teamwork and straws! The students and I discussed the Eiffel wand then talked about creating our own towers. Some students had a hard time working together, surprising right!? ;) I had one first grade boy tell me "I am already aggravated enough so I'm just not." in regards to helping his group. He was quick to try and be the boss but not accept anyone else's idea. In about three minutes he was back in action and had found a compromise. He even liked someone else's idea better than his!

I took some photos to document the activity. Here is fourth grade:

And here is first grade:

The kids really took to this challenge! I was very impressed as I did this with K-4!

The other fun I had was finishing hanging the spring art show! It turned out pretty good if I do say so myself. 

My week was wonderful as I had expected. :) Right now I am crossing my fingers for a job come August. Wish me luck!
