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 1: They were picking on us. Student 2: Well she was trying to tell us what to do. Me: Well stop picking on her and you stop telling people what to do. You are girls and you need to stick together, not tear each other down. Girl power! Who runs the world? Girls, Girls. Student 1: God. Me: What? Student 1: God rules the world. Me: Oh. Ok that's true. But my point is you should stick together.

So, today in art....Me: You guys look just alike. Student 1: We are wearing the same thing. I can see how you would think that. Student 2: But we have different hair. Me: Oh...yeah. Ok. That is how I will be able to tell you apart in the future. Other students: Yeah Mr. Smith....look how different their hair is. You should be able to tell the difference because of their hair.
The best part about this is that one of the students his Black and the other is Mexican and the only difference my kids can see is that one has longer hair than the other.

So, today in art (Field Day edition)...Student: Mr. Smith. Are you gonna come with me to feed the cows. Me: What? When? Student: Now. I have this bucket and I am gonna take it to feed the cows. Me: The cows will not like that. It's water and glue solution we use to paper mache. Student: No its not. Its milk. Me: Why would you feed a cow milk. Student: I am not feeding the cows. I am feeding my baby pigs. The cows always bite me. Me: I am sorry. I have morning duty, I have to get ready for field day, so... I do not have time to feed the cows or pigs. Student: Fine...I will do it my self. Get the door for me.

So, today in art...Student: Mr. Smith...do you watch CSI Miami? Me: Sometimes. Why? Student: When you put your shades on you reminded me of that guy who always has those crazy lines and then puts on his shades. Could you say something crazy and then put your shades on to see if it works? Me: Sure. That's the way the cookie crumbles (put on shades). Student: Yeah!!!!! Me: So it is true. (put on shades) Red and yellow make orange. Student: Yeah!!!!! Me: I guess the honeymoon is over (put on shades). Student Yeah!!!! This went on for about 10 minutes.
