field trip

Well, yesterday I took my class to the Art Gallery. We walked around the exhibit and then got to do our own 'hands on' art project to sort of immitate the focus of the exhibit. All in all it was pretty good. But you always have the few kids where you can only shake your head... Okay....one example ...because I need to vent but I realize that this a positive and happy atmosphere. So one boy, we will call him "Mac" for arguments sake. First all of all I need to back up a smidge and let you know that after a "guided" tour, the lady said to the kids "Okay now you can have some free time to wander around the gallery! What! A teachers worst nightmare. So here I am trying to catch them before they scurry off- "Don't touch anything!", "Stay with a buddy!" Well, back to my story. I happen to see Mac hanging around the Guest Book suspiciously. I casually walk over to glance at it and he has written in several lines "This is so Pro." "So Pro."

Pro? I ask myself. Then a conversation from a few weeks back pops into mind. I was inquiring to the kids what this 'Pro' meant, for all I knew it meant that you were like, a professional at it. The Art Gallery is Professional?? No, Ms. Getz, "Pro" means cool, totally awesome, like its wicked. Your so pro, that's so pro. Who would have known! I thought I was a young teacher, in with the times... holy smokes!

Anyways, the Gallery was fun and I am including a few pictures. . Oh yah, I also was feeling artistic (very suitable place to feel this way I thought) and snapped a few wanna be cool pics, artistic pics, pro pics!
