What a great line, Leann! Would that I could live my LIFE like that!
It is also a metaphor for how some of my students were raised, with no
boundaries or concept of basic manners in group situations.

Grades K-4 in my district are in a different school and there is no
formal art program. So, most of the students are quite new to art
learning by the time they get to 5th grade. However, I recently met one
of the 1st grade teachers, who is from Japan, and who teaches what
sounds like a wonderful art curric in her class. I hope she and I can
find time to get together and exchange ideas.
