Teaching art, not a job for sissies!

Brecken - age 9
I know that I should wait until my final presentation, but here's a sneak peek at one fourth grader's tile plan. He's moving to Germany and has to give away his bearded dragon. How's this for telling a story?

What a strange mix of emotions I felt to see this image. I was extremely elated that he 'got it' yet at the same time my heart broke at his raw expression of pain.

  2. It is wonderful that you recognize the conflict and empathize with his sense of loss.
