Helping Out At The Elementary School

Kaleigh's teacher asked me to come in and give an art lesson to the 3rd grade kiddos.  They had written poems and wanted to add art work as the finishing touch!

I worked with 2 classes...  sitting on the floor with my palette and paper, surrounded by the cutest 8 and 9 year olds! 

We drew and painted palm trees... the ocean...  sandy beaches... dolphins...  sea shells...  flowers...  mountains...  raindrops...  waterfalls... camp sites...  cherry blossom trees...  oak trees... eagles...  cactus... and even football players and baseball players!!!   : )  

What a GREAT time!
