    Bright Ideas Blog Hop – February

     

     
     I also have a great TEACHER TIP to share with you!
     
    Here’s what happened:
     
    We made some paintings at the end of the day, and they needed to dry over night. The problem was that the custodian had to wipe down the desks, and the thick wet paint would run if I hung them to dry. 
     
    Our solution? 
     
    We used stacked chairs as drying racks! We slipped one wet painting into each space between the stacked chairs and they were dry by the morning when we needed the chairs again! Of course, there were just the right number of slots! Perfect!

      I think this is a great idea. I've got 28 kids and not enough counter space. So smart!!!

      This is a fabulous idea! Great way to not have wet art all over the floor! Love seeing your students artwork and it would be a shame for them to be ruined by hanging them and causing the paint to drip. 🙂
