- It was the first day of Arts Week. This means there was more art, more artists, and more organized chaos than usual.
- The Striking Viking Story Pirates put on a show! They were fantastic. They did many 4-5 minute musical numbers written by kids. Dudes in drag and anthropomorphic animals.
- Student R. got stuck in his sweatshirt. It was hilarious. All you could see was one eyeball looking out, kind of like a periscope. He laughed, I laughed. He got unstuck.
- I had my first day of my "Film Crew" workshop. 2 fifth graders, 2 sixth graders, and I are making a documentary about a performance street art piece. We're feeling pretty good about it. Today we watched Improv Everywhere videos to get ideas. Tomorrow we're going to follow the performance crew to the subway station, where they'll be handing out lollipops. Sweet.
- After school was over, the student hopper came by to sharpen pencils and play teacher. Awwwww.

I was laughing at the kid getting stuck in his sweatshirt. Then I remembered how yesterday I tore my pajamas when I pulled off the top without undoing the buttons first.
ReplyDeleteLittle kids and big kids alike get stuck in clothes. It's just that the big kids end up ripping their way out.
Big kids should learn a lesson from little kids.
ReplyDeleteThoughts on close of artweek:
ReplyDeleteArt matters.
For some, home is where the art is.
And, home is where one's kids are.
Sometimes, happily, these homes coincide.
