Christmas Tree Surprise


This was my example for the class of seniors I taught.
Just look at how beautiful all of theirs turned out!
Such a lovely bunch of ladies!!!
I find that students in their 70s and 80s just aren't that different from the 9 and10 year old kids I taught for a few decades. Both are kind of nervous with something new. They both want the teacher's approval and praise. They need to see an example.  And, they both just want the teacher to stop talking so that they can dive in to the project!

What fun!

    want the teacher to stop talking... that's usually how I feel too, both from student and teaching perspectives!

      Ha ha! Whenever I needed to give some instruction, I'd say, "Hold your brush up in the air!" Just like I would do with 4th graders. No age really wants to stop and listen!
