Glitter. Glitter is awesome. It's fun. It sparkles. It shines. It shimmers. It makes something as ugly and prickly as a pine cone look lovely. However, I know several teachers (myself included) that wouldn't touch it with a ten foot pole. Why? Because it's messy. If it spills, well... we rather not go there. It sticks all over you, I mean, Lord help you if you touch your face when you use it (you know nobody's going to tell you it's on your forehead). Ugh, glitter. But what about the possibilities? The smiles it causes? The product it creates? We'd rather not think about that either and just leave it in the closet...
Do you see where I'm going with this? How many times as teachers do we pass up having fun with our babies because it's going to be too much trouble for us? I'm tired of it. I'm tired of feeling too tired to have fun with my students. The rest of this school year I am going to choose to have some fun. Who's with me?! Let's break out the glitter!!
