Chaos.
I had the most chaotic class of 1st graders yesterday. It was total madness- you may know the kind I mean.

– -Elijah, a delightful 4th grader
He bet me $20 over not talking and I said “Where are you going to get the money to pay me when you lose?!”

I was in a kindergarten classroom so the kids and I had to get in the corner...
“Miss L, I want a mustache - a big red magical mustache because girls love...”
– -told to me by a 2nd grader a few weeks ago
Ok I have to admit its been a quick minute since I’ve posted anything legit here. I tend to post goofy, non-art teacher related junk on my other blog and this one falls by the wayside.
Not anymore- I’m back and I have too much awesome stuff to share NOT to post.
Its gonna get crazy in here.
