Two of my favorite moments today:
Last week we began drawing with scissors like Henri Matisse as we played with collage. I noticed a third grade student brought in a list of items he wants, such as 1000 points on his video game and fifty dollars. I said, "It's not Christmas, so it must be your birthday soon and you made a wish list?"
"No, he answered, I thought this would be a good idea for my next collage."
Then, in the afternoon a 2nd grade collage artist says, "Hey, Mrs. Crosby, look at this, I was just scribblin' around with the scissors and I didn't know if it was a squirrel or a dog climbing up this tree."
