Think

I-Needa sent me a picture of the letters she painted yesterday which will hang in her elementary classroom. The inspiration came from her high school years seeing a sign with black lettering hanging above the board in her algebra teacher's room. I-Needa reported that the whole class hated that sign.

Now, as a teacher, I-Needa has more of an appreciation for the reasoning behind that sign. She decided the other day to use it in her classroom.

She purchased the letters on 'big time' sale at Michael's and painted them with acrylic paint. The letters are lightweight wood. They are a good size, but not large. Placed on this white place mat, you can have an idea of size. I-Needa used a stylus to place the dots on the letters. I think they are really happy looking and hope her kids will appreciate them and the meaning behind them.
