The Aloha Warriors

Kind of an oxymoron, that title, but that's what Julia's class has named themselves (it's all part of a big Hawaiian studies which is part of their grade). The class had to come up with and vote on names for themselves. They also had to create money, a flag, and things to sell. Everyone came up with a flag and then voted which one would represent the class--Julia's won 20-3 votes. :) Isn't she an awesome, creative artist?
The little flag wasn't going to cut it--her teacher had her duplicate it on a much larger scale.

Aside from the flag, she is also putting together sea shell wind chimes to "sell" in her class. I love how creative she gets. She put one together (and I thought it looked like a darn good wind chime) but she wasn't happy with it because it didn't make the appropriate sounds in the wind. So she's on a mission to tweak it so that it sounds pleasant to the ears. I'm not quite sure how she's going to do it, but I'm definitely posting pix of the finished products (yeah, that's an s at the end cause she's going to produce about 20 of these bad boys).

On a side note, has anyone else noticed her smile? I'm thinking I like this new one--where she's actually showing her pearly whites. She confided in me that she didn't like showing them before because her top teeth weren't quite straight. She looks good to me!
