UNBC Children's Art Show

The UNBC Children's Art show was such a lovely event. At first, I didn't think I would enjoy it much because I knew that my students weren't coming. However, I was so very wrong! I got to be part of something that had such beauty and such positive energy! At one point I looked around in awe as parents, grandparents, students, and younger siblings excitedly moved about the space. The decorations were wonderful!! The decorating committee did such a great job! And I really loved the sound of the violin playing in the background...that girl has talent AND stamina!

Even though my students weren't there I still felt an amazing pride for their work. I couldn't believe all the people gathered around the dot paintings! It was really cool to be able to talk about the art and tell a little about each student, even if it was to strangers (and classmates...thank you for showing so much interest :) )

This was a really great experience and it showed me how easy it is to pull off something amazing with teamwork!! Thanks to all my classmates for putting on such a great event, I am honored to be part of it with you.

And thanks to Willow for pushing us out of our comfort zones and believing that the night would go so well even when we were worried!!

Here's me...putting up my student's artwork!

  1. It was the teamwork! Thanks for noticing and for participating so willingly, even if you were worried. And thanks for sharing this photo of you with your class project - it was a memorable display. I hope you have many opportunities to coordinate team events in your schools - great community builders that help individuals feel a strong sense of belonging through participation and contribution.
