Day 4: Cat's CE Class

Greetings, Parents! My name is Cat and I am new to Arts-X-Press this year.  The students and I have had an amazing time, seeing and doing so many exciting, fascinating and stimulating activities.  They have humbled me with their talents and their willingness to be so creative.  Your children are amazing! In my CE class, we have explored each other, the universe, ourselves, our imaginations and more.  The results have been fantastic.  They have written reflections, stories, and poems.  They have expressed themselves very creatively and have come to share quite openly.  I am proud of their growth in such a short time.

Today, we did a lot of finishing up.  One of the things we finished was a composite story with the theme of exploration.  I supplied the first line and the kids filled it in with one line each.  Here it is: "Once upon a time, there was a group of amazing explorers.  They were all unique, shy, open and daring, but in the end they would be united with two things.  The things were friendship and creativity.  Their creativity and friendship would create amazing things. Sometimes, they were unsure of themselves.  Even when they were unsure, they could help each other through the hardest obstacles.  They worked together to help each other by encouraging one another.  When they did this they could overcome anything. People became inspired by seeing kids work together as a family and a team.  They started to care for each other but they had to go with what they had learned together.  They learned a lot of new things on their journey." (By [not in order by line]Andrea, Brianna, Cambria, Clarissa, Dennise, Gabi, Hali, Haley, Kendall, Keri, Michelle, Victor, and Xandra)  And by the way, one person who was inspired by seeing your kids work was me!

Thank you for sharing your kids with us here at Arts-X-Press. It has been a wonderful session for me and I know I'll see them again in the future doing big things!
