CHICKA CHICKA BOOM BOOM

Will there be enough room??!!!

We have something painted on all of our walls on the way to the preschool. One wall is a sea with fish and sea horse and octapus. Another wall is a pond with a frog and sun. Back at Christmas we started the Chicka Chicka Boom Boom tree. The students started the palm tree and letters. Then they never finished. Today was a half day for them since spring break is next week (YAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!) So I took it on as a project. What did I do for 8 hours? Well... F-A werent even up yet so i drew them on (free hand i know i'm good!) I also had a nine year old helping me. She painted E B and D and i did A C and F. It took her one mintue to do all three... me... an hour! Lets just say i pulled a verda and sat with a paint brush and made the letters the size i drew on. Its water based paint so it comes off if you add water. Which is sweet! Then i traced some letters that never were traced. I also went back and took off half of the other letter's tracing cuz it was super thick and looked way bad. Then I went along and added green to the palms to give them texture. I was then told to paint blue for the sky. Then i added clouds and the sun and some birds. After that i added texture to the sand. 8 hours later....

TA DAH!!!!

I should have took a before picture but didn't think about until i saw how cute it looked all done!!

I love my job!

Funny side note... We had like 5 kids here for their class and about every 5 seconds one would come over "Ms. ... i need.... Ms.. will you ...Ms. .. can I ) The nine year old said. "Man all day all you hear is MS! huh! Thats annoying!" I just laughed and said yup thats my job! =]

( the students call us MS. and only add Hebner or Coone or Percell if we all in the room. I guess its culture and polite to call your elders by their title. it took me a long time to get use to it. I bet next year everyone will call me Ms. Balls and not just Ms. lol)
