Today is the last day of my first session of grad school classes. I had so much homework to complete yesterday that I failed to squeeze in time for my blog post (I was up until 1:00 am working on this assignment), so I am taking a hiatus today. I do want to show you guys what I’ve been working on that was so time consuming. The assignment was to create an aesthetic representation of my personal theory of how kids learn. Some people in my cohort are making paintings, one girl is making bread dough. I’ll get to see them all today, so I’ll know more then. I wrote a children’s picture book, and then had to “illustrate” it. I’m not an illustrator, but I am able to painstakingly illustrate when I need to. So that’s what I’ve been doing. Sadly, I didn’t get done, so we’ll see if my professor marks me off for that. But here is the cover. Isn’t it cute?

I bought a picture book at a thrift store and glued new pages throughout the book so I’d have a hardcover book to show the class. It was fun, but 32 pages is a lot of pages to have to illustrate!

Anyway… I’m sorry I didn’t get you all a blog post or choose a winner for last week’s giveaway. I will do that next week.

Thanks for understanding!
