This is not your typical art teacher blog. This is a humor blog.
You will not find cool lesson plans or pictures of student art work here. There are many other (better) blogs out there where you can find that sort of thing. Here you will be given a glimpse into the everyday life of an elementary art teacher.
This blog is not safe for children.

    1. i live in saudi, there's obviously a unique brand of islam here. i am constantly telling the little ones not to tell each other that they're going to "the fire" (hell) for various infractions. me yesterday: "Abdurahman, how many times do I have to tell you to stop telling Mohammed that he's going to the fire!" it's completely insane.

  4. This is so funny. Today Kindergarteners were drawing their family as snowpeople.

    I asked a kindergarten boy, tell me about your snow family. Kid: "This is my dad." Me: "okay tell me about your dad." Kid: "He likes to play video games." Me: "That's nice he plays with you." Kid: "No he won't let me play, and this is my mom she is cooking, cleaning and that's our laundry!"

    Hahaha! I need to call this mom and give her an award or at least a nice phone call about how wonderful her son is! It's the least I can do.

  9. Shared by another AT friend of mine:
    Today I learned from a student of mine that elves do not live in the North Pole. When I asked him where they live, he replied "In the attic!" All this because his elf on the shelf snuck into his lunch box today!

Thank you for leaving a comment. I am unable to reply to comments directly on my blog (it's complicated), but if your profile is connected to an email address, I will try to reply to you via email from my phone while nursing my baby to sleep. Be patient. My reply time is about three weeks. Give or take a month or two.
