    Dennis - thanks for sharing. Looking back to my first year where I am now I
    rmember the kids copying one another as though there was only one answer. It
    took three years to get the kids to graduate that had "the other teacher"
    and to convince
    the kids that everyones work could look different in someway even when the
    subject was the same. It is a pure joy to look around the room and see each
    one being
    "their own artist" maybe they grow in self esteem too by expressing their own
    self??? When I was a student teacher one of the teachers I worked with
    focused on'
    self esteem - she didn't seem to care about producing art work but more about
    how
    the child felt about himself. She was wonderful and I think I carry some of
    her wisdom into my teaching - however I do love to see the product turned out
    too.
    Thanks Roberta
