My son Scotty, loves to draw. I asked the teacher if I could come and help out in the classroom once in a while. She came up with the idea that since Scotty loves to draw, once a month I would come into Scotty's classroom and do art with the students in his classroom. I was really unsure what I should do, since I am not artsy. I couldn't teach these kids to draw, but I did realize that I could let them learn to express themselves, so I came up with the idea of the art journals. I made each child a journal. Each time we meet I will have a topic for them to draw about on one page and an art project to go on the other page. At the end of the school year they will have a keepsake to take home and share with their families.

These are awesome!! What a great idea : )
Great idea. I am a fourth grade teacher and it's like pulling teeth to get students to write. I'm starting to incorporate drawings to stimulate their idea banks.
