Back to School, An Apple for the Teacher


Well lots of schools started back up this week. In our little town in Northern California, the elementary schools started today in 103 degree heat. Yikes


I swear when I was a kid we didn't start until September. Thank goodness for A/C. The man who invented that should have a national holiday. Who did invent air conditioning? Well I decided to find out. His name is Willis Carrier. When was air conditioning invented? Well his patent was approved in 1906.




So, those lucky little kids have nice cool air to learn their ABC's and since this is a blog about confetti and we don't happen to have air conditioning confetti you'll have to check out our ABC confetti instead. Seriously folks, I needed a theme and it's hot and it's the first day of school.
Lest the math teachers and math lovers among you protest, we do have number confetti too.
In fact we have so many numbers that it's impossible to show them all.
And for the teachers pets we have shiny red apple confetti. Sprinkle it on your teachers desk...oops don't say where you got the idea

More tomorrow and don't forget your homework

It's nice to have some of this confetti on hand for school projects - adds a little extra zing to the inevitable self-portrait kids are asked to do, when they can spell their name with Confetti at the top - it's also a great way to combine tactile function and spelling!
