We drew an About Me project. Instead of drawing a self portrait of their face, students drew pictures about all things them. This student included his favorite show Auction Hunters, his favorite food (orange chicken) at Panda Express, and a bronco that he plans to buy off his uncle so he can take it mudding as well as compete at monster truck shows. He was so proud to share all these details with me, which in turn makes me love my job that much more.
I'm an elementary art teacher.
I have the best job on earth.
I teach at 3 schools. No art rooms- its art on a cart minus the cart. (I get a cart at the school with no stairs). 900 kids- 42 classes a week, 30 minutes each.
School stats:
22% white, 66% black, 2% hispanic
89.5% at/below poverty
