My sink is a disaster too - but today I had a student in observing in my room and she thought it seemed like a "well-oiled machine" - I guess in the middle of the chaos all these little guys knew what was expected of them and where to find what they needed, and it worked.

@Fi...@Melissa- thank you, that's really sweet!<br /><br />@Fine Lines- mixing it with white is the best thing I can come up with to try... I did it a little bet yesterday but I need to try adding in more of the good paint.<br /><br />@Art Project Girl- I think all the other teachers just get small bottles of tempera out of the work room and silly me ordered a whole gallon because I thought it would be fine!<br /><br />@Angie- That's what I do with clay, all in one week. I usually just try to spread out painting in the morning and afternoon because of the drying rack situation. I'm hoping I can somehow find room in my budget for an additional drying rack but I don't know if it'll happen. I ordered all my supplies from School Specialty last year. We get awesome discounts so it saves a lot of money. I guess I found out the hard way that paint is not the place to go cheap!Katie Morrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10056783451407075827noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1592492505091408673.post-85190919404780918522011-09-27T18:45:38.069-05:002011-09-27T18:45:38.069-05:00I generally plan so that all of my classes are pai...I generally plan so that all of my classes are painting at once. I like to have the big mess, rather than cleaning in between and pulling out new supplies. And, do tell what brand paint that you ordered!Angiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11142817054375318711noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1592492505091408673.post-55439980839859459742011-09-27T18:30:27.495-05:002011-09-27T18:30:27.495-05:00Love seeing your sink because it looks like mine d...Love seeing your sink because it looks like mine did! It took me 20 minutes just to clean the sink area! I can't stand cheap paint either!!! What to do with it?

I remember days where I had every single class painting and fortunately I had 2 drying racks, but still everything was a huge mess! Some how I managed to work it out though. The life of an Elementary Art Teacher is not for the faint of heart! I enjoy reading your posts. You seem like such a Great Art teacher!Melissa @ The Chocolate Muffin Treehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03188770507092063326noreply@blogger.com
