Here is where I got to thinking . . . these drawings could be made into something
new, so one night in the art room I started cutting and arranging:
I asked the kids to try lettering inside the banner shape. Surprising that
one of the second-grade girls did the best job.
Some of them said, "Did we say we are very excited about everything?"
"No, but you act that way, so I said it." "Oh."
They liked their pictures all being together in a collage, and
though they did not object or disagree with the banner, it
worked better to change it to tree boughs.
A few kids came for after-school sessions to make tiny birds, mushrooms,
butterflies, and other animals. Some are tucked into this collage, and
others are being saved for another project. Everyone who had a part in the
making signed his or her name, which they each found very exciting -
since they are always very excited about everything!
