Why We Need Art in Public Schools
I'm on a roll with the You Tube videos today. Dave and I love You Tube. Did you know you can watch almost any movie, tv show, commercial, etc. on there? We lie in bed at night with our laptops and watch all sorts of stuff, usually things that make us laugh so hard we can barely go to sleep. Right now our favorite is a Kenny Rogers skit from Madd TV.
The video below gives me chills. I so wish that our school system had the $$$$ to provide more art education to our students. I'm thrilled to see the month of May finally arrive, because this is the time of year that we get to expose our students to painting, drawing, chorus, music, dance, photography, and drama. Our hallways at school will be transformed into art galleries. Local artists, musicians, and photograhers will come into our classrooms and become the teachers. We'll culminate the entire festival with Parent Night where all of our students will show off their talents.
This is PS22 from New York City. They have lots of videos on You Tube, but this one is my favorite. I love the expressions on their faces. I love it when you're working with children, and you can tell that they love what you're teaching them as much as you do. That doesn't happen often, but it's an awesome feeling when it does.

I took my finals last week, and somehow managed to get A's in all of my classes. It was a LONG semester, and now I have a short break before summer classes begin. If there's one thing I learned this semester, it came from this video we watched in my diversity class. AMAZING!!!
