Yes Day!

i have been working with my second graders on an illustration assignment. i read them a book called, "yes day." the book is about a boy who has an entire day where all his requests are answered with "yes". i asked my students to illustrate a page to the book and think about one thing they would ask for. the results have been great.

they range from cute, to strange, to downright hilarious. i love when kids are just given the chance to draw.

can i have a side of chocolate mousse for breakfast? notice he spelled mousse like the animal. :o) i love that he also drew a moose!

 can i destroy the house?

can i have chicken wing? yes! 200 of them, please. :o)

 i would buy a piranha. he went on to explain to me that this piranha was a teenage piranha, because an adult piranha would not be able to fit in his pool.

 i want a puppy for me! cut pet dogs. hahaha

 i would buy an iphone. everyday at the end of class, i do "art show" and show off each kids drawing. i accidentally said, "i would buy a phone" and not iphone . this made her freak out. who knew apple products were so important to an 8 year old.

 can i crash a plane? yes. yikes.

 i would dance all day. me too!




i'll post more hilarious results from my four schools later. i will leave you with my favorite drawing a student made. SKULLET. she forgot to draw the hair on top if the head. unless that is supposed to be gallagher. woof.
