Back After Thanksgiving Break

We're back to school this week after a nice little break for the Thanksgiving holiday.  Many of the students traveled over the holidays, so getting back into the swing of things today was a little rocky, lol!

We managed to get the outer 'posters' on the Time Square billboard. Also, as you can see from the picture the Empire State building and the Chrysler building are missing. They are currently being painted by my classes to make them more life like and give our winter scene from New York a little more color!

We are also working on 3-D printing cookie cutters this week using the website Cookie Caster.  The challenge over the next 2 weeks is to come up with the most artistic/creative cookie cutter and win some cookies!  I thought this might be a fun, yet easier challenge for the students, given we are heading down the home stretch into finals week in just 8 more academic days!  Yikes!  It feels as if the semester has flown by, but I'm sure students would tell you otherwise.

I'm looking forward to showing off some of the creative cookie cutters that are made. I think that the fun part will be the kids taking them home and seeing if they will actually function and cut the dough!
