Rolo Certificates

I sat down to start working on the Rolo Diplomas for my class and decided to make a certificate of appreciation for the high school girls. Here's how they turned out...



I used paper and elements from the Thompson's Room and Sunshine Daydream kits by Scraps of Ellay.

Now, I've still got to make some for my class. LOL!

Speaking of my class...LOL! I showed them the necklaces I made and they loved them until they read the word "love". Then in typical kindergarten style, they started laughing, gagging and yelling "gross" and "yuck" I explained that it meant you should love your family, and your life and everything you do because if you don't you'll just be sad all the time. One little boy looked at me very skeptically and said, "Do ya think they'll get that?" LOL!

Today I took my first attempt at making some jewelery. I decided it was best to keep it simple! LOL! I wanted to make necklaces for my high school volunteers and here's a look at what I came up with...



LOL! I told you I kept it simple!

I used graphics from the Sunshine Daydream Kit by Scraps of Ellay and added the text.

I didn't take a picture of the back of the necklace, but it says...

Ms. Brown's
Kindergarten Class
Greynolds Park
Elementary School
2009-2010

Hopefully, the girls will wear the necklaces and think about us.

If you don't have the Sunshine Daydream Kit, you can pick it up in the Scraps of Ellay Store at Stuff to Scrap. AND....it's on sale!

In just a couple of weeks my high school volunteers will be graduating and moving on. I've got my class making surprises for them. The kids all know that we can't talk about it while the girls in the room and they've done a wonderful job of keeping the secret. I'm so proud of them, because normally they can't wait to shout out the secrets. LOL!

This morning before the girls came in we were all talking about our plans and what we still needed to get done. I told my class that this was very sad for me because I've had Miss Mary and Miss Katherine helping me for two years. Now, they're graduating and moving on.

One of my students very incredulously said, "Now you'll have to do all the work by yourself!" I was expecting sympathy from him as I said just as incredulously, "yes!" Instead, he looked at me and said, "Good for you. You should be able to do it by now." LOL!

This was the same kid who asked me where I worked earlier in the year. LOL!
