Angry eyes!
What an outstanding day at school yesterday. I work one on one with a little guy who is not so independant. He also lacks fine motor skills needed in general ed. He will be sucessful in verbal activites. So my FAVORITE class Art. We are making rainbows, rain clouds and sun...I 'm not sure what the exact outcome will be but I'm waiting to see. So we painted together the yellow, green and blue stripes on our rainbow. Cut out our rain clouds and were given our sun to work on. Well our sun needs to have a face. I was helping another student and didn't have my eye's on my friend...But he was listening...which is AMAZING!! cause he never listens. As I walked away he got his pencil and drew eyes on his sun....not just circle, but an oval for the eye, and then a circle for the iris, and a smaller circle for the pupal.....3 step eyes!!!! Iknow I'm easily entertained. Then he went on and made a curved line for the nose, and an angry mouth...the then holds it up to his face and says "see my angry mouth" then the teacher goes on giving more imforation to the kids. My buddy then says He needs "angry eyebrows" and draws them. Ok so this may not be a "big" deal to you but for me!!! this is HUGE...for one he did it on his own! but also you could see the marks boldly drawn on the paper, not scribbled, or too light to see. He did it on his own. I grabbed up his paper ran down the hall to show our Classroom teacher...and she said "You helped him didn't you".......NO!! he did it on his own. Although she may not see it, or believe it but yesterday he made a HUGE step. too bad it is now spring break and he'll be out of school for 10 days.
