Look what I made!

So, I'm taking an overload of courses this summer and I've about lost my mind.  However, it means that I will likely be student teaching in the Spring.  THAT is what keeps me going.  So far...all As baby!  HOORAY!  Well, I'm taking a math class online this summer.  It's geometry for elementary school teachers. If you know me you know that I am NOT a mathematician to say the least.  Especially when I have to rely on my self-teaching abilities like I do in this online course.  However, there are certain aspects of this course that I'm actually enjoying.  This past week I took a pile of free newspapers from the hotel I stayed at for my friend Emily's bachelorette weekend and turned my fingers black making a geodome...you know, like the thing at Epcot in Disney World?  While I was not thrilled with the amount of papers it took and the process was tedious, I enjoyed the result and I think it was sturdy enough that my nephew could have and would have enjoyed playing in it.  I'm thinking about making another one day and then painting and embellishing it.  Perhaps with my future students?  Well, we'll see.  So, here it is from beginning to end-kind of.  Made it with newspaper, tape, and staples.  What do you think?
