A student's gestural drawing of me. Although I don't remember doing the splits.
I went to Whittier on Thursday, a.k.a. the students' last day before spring break. Needless to say, all the kids (and teachers) were very excited. Mrs. Swatosh's class went to art class again this week, and did more gestural sketching. This time, the kids did fun poses and drew each other. The kids told me that, since they weren't going to have school on Friday, that means I'm going to have go to P.E. with them next week. I don't know how I feel about that. P.E. was one of my least favorite classes in school. Do they still play dodgeball? I guess I could play dodgeball.
After freezing my butt off at recess, one of the kids invited me to a special lunch with Miss Anita, the school social worker, along with a few other students. We played some fun games where we got to know each other and had a pretty good time. I'm really glad that I've already been able to get to know these kids so well in the few days I've been able to spend with them.
After lunch, the kids had Math class for a short while, and afterward, Mrs. Swatosh turned on Coco. I wished the kids a happy spring break and went on my way to Art Buddies.
Art Buddies is going faster than I expected. My mentee is going to be a fairy, so we spent the whole day building the biggest part of her costume: the wings. They're not done yet! We'll keep working on them more next session. Then, hopefully, we'll be able to move onto some other parts of her costume, including her crown and wand.
Even though I technically don't have next week off, I'm glad to have a bit of extra time next week to research some ideas for my lesson idea, as well as catching up on some homework for my other classes.
