National Emoji day

This basically how I look after a long week of working with kids at the art camps.

My husband laughs because I look so confused at the end of the day!

Anyway, I am stretching canvases today and have not even lifted a brush, 

except to help 12 children clean up their paintings during class!

Kids always have a tendency to use entirely too much paint and have to be reminded over and over. 

I love to watch how much kids enjoy painting, even if I fuss just a little!

I'm done, No you're not you missed several spots. X 12

I'm done, Why do I still see newsprint? X 12

I'm done, Did you paint the bottom? X 12

I'm done, No now you need to get the excess paint smoothed out. X 12

I'm done. No now you need to clean your brush. X 12

I'm done, Did you clean up your area? X 12

I'm done, did you wash out your water dish? X 12

I'm done, did you wash your hands? X 12

I have to laugh because their greatest joy it seems is to get to have snack.

Can I have snack?, Not right now, we have to wait for the other kids to finish.  X 12

Can I have snack?, We have to finish our project first and clean up. X 12

Can I have snack? , We need to paint the background for our project tomorrow. X 12

Can I have snack?, When the other kids are finished. X 12

Can I have snack? After  you clean up. X 12

Can I have snack? After throwing brush in sink and spilling paint water on floor. X 12

Such are the joys of teaching!

I LOVE IT!
