No photos today, sorry. Just a quick update! Things are progressing quite well. I'm excited because a sort of unofficial art group has started in my classroom. Some kids are dropped off at school very early, and if I see them lingering outside when I get there (around 7:30 or so), I invite them in with me. I've written up a list of studio chores (sharpen pencils, wash whiteboards, clean tables, stuff like that). If they do a couple chores they are invited to create some art.

This group is different than my class groups because it is small (8-10 kids, counting my own two daughters) and because there is an age range from first grade to sixth grade. I love seeing how they interact and advise each other.

Because I only teach art to the K-3 kids, the younger ones show the older ones how the room works. It's fun for them to be able to teach their "elders".
