- Art On A Kart
- In April of 2012, I began relief teaching at EtonHouse International School, in Singapore! (The school where my oldest daughter, PE, attends!) I began relief teaching to earn extra spending money for my upcoming trip to China!! One day the administrator came to me and offered me a job......TEACHING ART! Not READING, not MATH, not WRITING, not SCIENCE, not SOCIAL STUDIES......but ART!! I was excited and overwhelmed. WHY????!!!! I had never taught JUST ART. How do you begin to teach art? What do you tell the children? What do I teach other than painting and cutting paper? What a challenge I was about to undertake...... A dear friend had recently told me, "Good teaching is good teaching. If you are a good teacher, you can TEACH ANYTHING!! You have the skills and the experience, and you understand best teaching practices." "Ok", I thought......maybe I CAN DO THIS! I decided I would engage in this challenge and it would definately be a HANDS ON LEARNING EXPERIENCE!! I was just a little scared......
Hi Cheryl...
ReplyDeleteSo exciting to hear of your BIG MOVE!!! What an incredible opportunity for all of you. Heard you can't chew gum in public over there ;-)
Loved reading all your posts and look forward to more. Can't believe how big the girls are getting already.
Your home is spectacular and how fortunate to have the parks, paths and pool so close by.
Our love,
The Emma's
Cheryl....just got back from a bike ride in Southport with Lisa. Beautiful day here...in the mid 70's. Hope to do hot yoga tomorrow and then read on the deck. Miss you soooooooo much. See you in June.
