This blog is a compilation of conversations between my students, other teachers, the parents and I. My purpose is to illustrate the importance of art education in my local community. The arts allow the children’s spirit of their imaginations to soar and creates a deeper understanding of the world around them.

So, today in art...Student: Mr. Smith? When you die I will be at your funeral throwing egg rolls on your casket has it goes down into the ground instead of roses. Me: Why? Student: Because I know how much you love egg rolls. Me: But why do I have to be dead in this scenario? Well, it wouldn't make sense if I was just throwing egg rolls at you while you are alive. Anyway...I will throw hundreds, no thousands and I will be happy. Me: Why would you be happy at my funeral? Students: Because I know you would be in heaven eating all those egg rolls. Me: But still, why do I have to be dead? Student: I don't mean like any time soon...I mean like when I am 80 years old and you are like 1000 years old. Me: How old do you think I am? You know what??? Never mind.
