I had my first elementary school class today, 11 1-3rd graders......there is only one class, i'm not sure where the other grades went but I don't have them!
It was surprisingly fun. They are so easily entertained it's great! AND they actually like art! Wait, hold the phone, I have a class full of people who enjoy what I teach?! I'm not sure how to handle this. Sadly I only have them once a week....hmmm, maybe I could just swap the high schoolers for them?!?!?! Interesting idea, I don't think anyone would notice, right?! They're only 2 feet shorter, that's not much. I mean they listen, quiet down when I ask, and laugh because they are having fun not because someone just got insulted!! I think maybe high schoolers should be locked up in their own space for a few years while we pipe in things to make them grow up to be good, interesting members of society. None of this leaving them to their own devises and hoping....that's just dangerous!
Anyway I think I am going to have a blast with these kids, they are at a point where their creative minds haven't been completely shut down by society, there's still time to pull some fun things out of them!
