I really enjoyed myself yesturday at the Children's Art Show. I loved walking around and seeing how excited the students were. I'm impressed with our cohort and the inovative art activities they did. I was happy that all my students who I invited came to see the art. They were thrilled to see their artwork on display. I thought a lot about which students I wanted to invite. I chose the students who I thought deserved a boost and often go unrecognized. In the process I made 5 students extremely happy and a few students who were not chosen sad. I wish I could have invited everyone. I think next time I would celebrate everyone's art, that way everyone would feel validated. For the art show I worked on the welcome board, it was off to the side but I heard from others that it did not go unnoticed. I think if I were to have an event at my school I would involved the students in the welcome greeting.

I loved the fabulous greeting sign that you created Jenna (although I noticed on Thursday that it was blocking the art work that I brought from my practicum ... will have to look into that tomorrow). I totally agree with you about how important it is to validate the work of all students in the class and given that we had limited space at the university to display every piece of art work, we now know what it takes to host an Art Show and have learned what an awarding and validating experience it is for the students so that we can organize our own Art Show one day.
