student drawing

march 2010 i walked into class to find this drawing by middle school student Chrism (yes... chrism...). ive eaten oatmeal in class and the students think it's disgusting and say it looks like poo. I told them im from california, so i changed the "new york" part, and i corrected their spelling rendition of the word "oatmeal." I always wear a black blouse & skirt for work, but for the first 2 weeks of the term i wore a hoodie and jeans everyday (b/c it was still winter and so very cold), so i guess those are the clothes the students will forever remember me in. i love this class, they're one of my favorites (and chrism is, of course, one of my favorites), we play mafia and they are great great fun^^
