Photos from Classes Taught.

Wow!! They did Great! Good on you as an instructor! Hope my little group that meets every couple of months can be interested in doing more than just quickie earring and bracelet projects. Thanks for posting the photos...they will inspire us to dust off our skills and get creating too! Karole a.k.a Band Mommy

Thanks, Karole!

And unlike my own child, the kids think I'm "cool." Ok, it's probably because I teach an elective and not one of the hard classes. I only have two rules: they can talk as long as they're working, and they'd better NOT be talking when I'm talking.

Agree with Karole. I'll never get that far ...

Not sure about mine, but she told me when she was in high school that her friends thought I was.

Reminds me of our daughter's social studies teacher in her freshman year in high school. One day she came home saying she was sitting in the front of the class now. When I was in school school that never meant a good thing so I asked about what she had done, but she replied that the teacher had decided for the rest of the semester she was going to treat herself to not having to yell and got all the students who were paying attention to the front and the noisy ones to the back. If you have some that won't shut up, maybe you can do the same :-)

Nah, they were really a well behaved bunch. I only had to remind them a couple of times to be quiet when I was talking.

I had one that whined a little bit about not liking chain maille, which I thought was kind of funny because the rest of the kids loved it. I've had some that have taken my wire jewelry class and my Egyptian collars class last year, and they thought chain maille was so much easier.

This girl was GREAT in my Egyptian collars class, but is just not crazy about chain maille. She was getting on my nerves, so finally I told her to go talk to the director of the program and get moved to another class. I think she likes me, so she didn't want to change. Her parents hunted me down at the end of year program because they just had to meet me after hearing so much about me all year. Lol.

Beautiful work from all of them. Their projects are a tribute to your skill as a teacher. Wish I was close enough so I could sneak into your classes!!

Thanks, Mj!!

I had a lot of fun with the kids. They've asked me to teach next year, so I'm trying to figure out what will work well for the kids.
