When life makes Space

My students send me messages any time of day.
Sometimes they want to know what I’m doing or they are wishing me a happy birthday or they are sending me gifs.
Today when I opened the learning platform, I read this message:

My students made their own versions of the African American Flag after an art lesson on David Hammons.
I had the flags sitting in my apartment and finally placed them throughout my building.
A little girl made me a birthday card. She put so much thought and effort into it. I love the felt design! And look at the back…
Handmade cards can really enlighten your day…
This was such a fun project. The children used bottled tops to make their pictures pop out, if you will.
