Blur

Blur -phonebox, buggies and yellow wall.

C. only started yesterday and I have not had the chance to spend any time with her yet. I did see her in the garden today, carefully planting the flowers from bindweed and sprinkling soil into them. She smiled beautifully for her photo.

A. likes riding in the car. He needs help to not hit people. Today was his best day so far as he lasted till the end of his hour without hitting anyone, and also shared the car with no fuss. He also told me he loved me!

E. likes standing at the top of the slide and banging his plastic spoon on the bars to make a good sound. he likes the piano and the football.

J. likes his fire engine. Today he brought in a photo of himself with a red parrot on his shoulder and said it was when he 'had a parrot like a pirate'.

I know you said these are the kidlets in your class, but it looks to me like the beginning of a children's story book...or one for adults to remember how to explore with childlike enthusiasm & imagination! :>

These are gorgeous! Your class sounds like my FCE class I've just started teaching - although mine are 16 + years old! It must be super rewarding not to mention exhausting teaching little people.

P.S. I got your parcel yesterday (thank you!) but I've been so flat out I have not had a chance to open it yet - I'm saving it for Friday after school! Loved the huge British stamps on it too!

What a great idea doing sketches of your students. And I love how you have done a description of their personalities.

What a wonderful collection of children - but how sad that Aliamin has to express himself through hitting people - I'm glad he is making progress already!

Very handsome young people and very clever. The days of classroom learning become a blur but each one is unique step.

Wondering if you are using a computer program or your artist skills to create these portraites.

We had a little girl in our nursery who used to bite simply because she didn't have the language to express herself. I hope that's all it is with Aliamin - still, if he loves you already, he can't be bad!
Jayden sounds as though he's had some interesting times.
