Color Me Happy!

People of the Nation...
Back to School time is a very important time to build a classroom community.  One of the ways we do this is by ingraining the importance of respect and love for their fellow Firstie Nation members.  We use may different books and activities, but I thought this one was pretty neat.

 What are those colorful pointy things?
Why...they are crayon hats of course!
Ms. R is rockin' this summer's hottest trend....purple crayon!
(She is my own barbie doll!  I'm so lucky that she has the excitement for silly!  Ms. R fits right in!)
