What was I thinking? As a person who does not go out of the way to meet/talk/interact with people...this prospect of teaching a bunch of kids art projects is quite daunting. I'll admit, I may be intimidated by 7 to 12 year olds. What if they hate what we're doing? What if I am suddenly stricken with a case of amnesia overnight and completely forget what project we're doing? What if I become mute and am instantly transported to the front of a classroom clad in my pajamas and I haven't even brushed my teeth yet? Ok, so I suppose those last two might be a stretch of the imagination...but not completely impossible! Anyway, I know once I get through tomorrow everything will be fine and I won't even be able to imagine what I was worried about.
My thought is to start of with an easy-ish project. Pinterest has been my inspiration. :) I'm having them create 2 pieces of art on paper, then weave them together. It's been a challenge to come up with 35 minute projects for 3 classes over a 6-10 week span. I believe it can be done even if we have to do it over multiple weeks. Greg and Addison have been my guinea pigs, so I'm getting a better idea of what will work for the masses and what won't.
Wish me luck!!
