Next Vincent Van Gogh?

Today I substituted for TFA's lower school (K-5th grade) art teacher. I always love subbing for the lower school. The kids are so cute... even when they act up a lot it's hard to be mad at them. The little ones are especially sweet, they love you instantly, before they even get to know you. Often when I am subbing for one of their classes they will randomly get up and give me a hug... no reason, that's just how they roll. Another thing I love about these little ones is how they like to show their affection through art. Even when I am not teaching an art class I usually end up with an assortment of notes and pictures from my little students. They will run up throughout the day, drop the picture in my lap and shyly say " That's for you." These little notes and pics warm my little heart and make me feel so special. Today I was given a few by my art students and I thought I would share them with you!!

This one was a little book a girl had made herself and gave me! I have no clue what it says... it looks a little like it might be Dr. Suess's Thing 1 and Thing 2!!

Here is my attempt at art! Good thing I took a shine to photography... I had no chance as a budding artist!!
