Touching images of children sometimes help teachers to remember what drew them to the classroom in the first place. Connor is an acrylic paining of that little guy with the freckled face and straight off the school bus grin that makes every teacher’s day! His shirt is still clean, his eyes are shining and enthusiastic and his manners are heart warming. How many teachers could scoop up such a little man first thing in the morning and take him home.
Of course, the “So Long” painting at the end of the day would most likely depict P&J smudged cheeks, dirty finger nails, and a hanging shirt tail……but the smile….that would be for keeps!
