I truly believe that students do not get enough instruction in the Arts in our schools today. My students attend art class every 9 weeks the way we do our ancillary rotation. And Music class once every other week. I try to make up for that in my classroom. Now I do have to sneak it in, using other objectives, but we still try to teach the whole child.

Makes me think of black and blue.
pretty people
all colors
happy people
if you get sick and you get scared
a horse
