Okay. So do you remember this post and this post about me volunteering in Macy’s art class when they were working on a Jackson Pollack project? Today, I had art duty again and the kids were working on drawing some exotic rain forest birds. Seriously. That’s what they were working on. Anyway…they were blowing me away with their drawing abilities, as well as their choice of vibrant colors.Their art teacher was doing a direct teach to the class, so there wasn’t a lot for me to do in the classroom today. So, she asked me to go and laminate the kid’s Jackson Pollack finished masterpieces! THEY TURNED OUT FABULOUS! So, I {of course} offered to bring them home and cut them out….but kind of for wacky reasons. Yes, I’m happy to help the teacher out, but this is why I say I’m a little weird. I actually like laminating. And I like cutting out things I’ve laminated. In front of the tv. Something trashy that my hubby probably can’t stand. It’s one of those odd things that I miss about teaching. I mean aside from the great kiddos and molding young minds and all. Ahem.
Anywhoo…Macy’s is on top in this pic. The animal she chose was a dog {natch} – which is what her poem is about. It says:
Dog{s} be good.
Dog{s} lick me.
I love dogs.
And it was no surprise that Macy chose warm colors for the splatter painting. That’s just who she is. Warm and delish.
Isn’t her dog cute? Isn’t her poem funny? I heart this kid. And art class. And laminating. :)
