These are a few of my favorite things...

One of my favorite things about looking at other teacher's blogs is seeing some of the things that they use in their classroom. So with that in mind I have decided to post a few of my favorite things that I use in my room. Some are quite boring but make my day much easier and a one is my favorite new find for teaching color mixing. Enjoy!

My GIANT pencil sharpener. X-Acto brand's commercial quality pencil sharpener. I've had it for at least 3 years and it's still going strong!


Small hand held sharpeners for the colored pencils. Around $0.99 each and they save me from having to sharpen a million colored pencils each day.

My scissor caddy. Easy pass out and clean up of scissors PLUS they match the colors of each table.
Fizzy Tub Colors are my current favorite! I'm sure people with small kids at home know all about these but they're new to me. Each container has 100 tablets with the primary colors that I can use to teach color mixing. I just tell the kids that we're going to be mad scientists in the art room that day and they LOVE it!

So who is this Sassy Crayon??

I am an elementary art teacher in Upstate South Carolina and I LOVE my job! The fact that I am paid to create art and encourage imagination each day is amazing. I love looking for projects, ideas and inspiration everywhere I can and I hope that this blog will be just that, a place for sharing ideas, projects and problems. So sit back, relax and let's get inspired!
