I love Fridays! I have a really fun 4th-5th grade class as my last class of the week. There are always a ton of smiles and innovative ideas in the room when this group walks in.
This week a student asked if she could stay to help me put the chairs up. She started talking about how she really likes art and she wishes she could have art more often. She even said that she wished she could have art as her homeroom class!
"But how would you learn math?" I asked her. "We measure things, we sort things..." she started to say.
"How about reading?" "We could read about artists...."
The conversation continued on like this and she had a response for every subject I asked her about. I love knowing that she can connect art to so many areas without any (direct) coaching from me. She has figured out how it all fits together. She made my day!
