Student Teacher Gifts

Our latest sharing topic during morning meeting asked students to share a super power they most wanted.  My most desired super power would be the ability to slow down time.  There is so much to do and never enough time to complete everything!  I am sure this is something only I have experienced, right? ;)  

What would I do with more time?  I would most likely find the time to make cutesy crafts or create fun units for my kiddos.  And lucky me, I had that opportunity this past week: a cutesy craft and a project for the class!

It was time to say goodbye to our clinical student from a nearby university.  She had been with us for an entire semester, so it was kind of a sad morning for my third grade friends.  We did what we could and made her not one, but TWO gifts!  The first one was a class book in which each student wrote why our clinical student teacher will make a great teacher.  The second one was this...

This pot was a gem found from the Crafty Valentine Girl's blogspot.  We all had so much fun making this over the course of two days.  Each student thumb printed the pot with ceramic paint, and the next day they added the cute details (and their names) with a ceramic pen.  Super, super cute!  Makes me kind of wish I could just have them make one for me!
