As you know, we did the Parent/Teacher conference last week.
Harper’s report stated that she represents feelings and ideas in a variety of ways.
She shows confidence and takes initiative.
She responds to sensory input to function in the environment.
Yesterday, when I asked Harper what she learned in school, she handed this to me:
Apparently, “responds to sensory input to function in the environment” is fancy for “totally relates to Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds.” ‘ ‘ ‘text/javascript’>
I always gets, “Works independently, but at her own pace.” Which is shorthand for, “stubborn as a mule and try to hurry her along at your own risk.”
Is her teacher Timothy Leary?
I love this artwork!!! I wonder if it represents some moment in the class or just something that came to her…
Looks like a tab of E on her tongue, and she’s off to rave.
Typical second child.
I less than three her.
Well, but the asymmetry lends a certain sense of balance to the piece overall, don’t you think?
Hey, who dropped this clove cigarette in my coffee?
I foresee a successful future in horror remakes of the Muppet Show. Rip their eyes off! More blood! More blood!
One time, I made a craft in school that was a card for my mother to tell her I loved her and thought she was the best. Unfortunately, my teacher was too busy to spellcheck it.
I ended up giving my mother a lovely card that said, “Mom, you are the beast!”
Once when I was a literacy tutor, I got a thank you note that said,
“Dear Miss Alex,
Thak you for hleping me with my spling.”
The flashbacks this artwork induced were highly satisfying.
