There are a number of odd and 'quirky' things to take note of in the CIS Art Room. The room is really an extension of my personality, so of course it's going to be as odd and weird as I am. :) One such quirky item is my pet skull, Bob! Well...this year I've promoted Bob to 'sidekick' status because he's not really a 'pet'. Sitting on his perch atop the golden toilet, Bob sits and listens and takes note of all the happenings of the art room. Once a month, Bob, the last king of Atlantis, has some wonderful and glorious idea...a "thought"...and we have a "WHAT'S BOB THINKING DAY" at the start of art class. One lucky student from each class gets to pull this thought from Bob's brain and share it with the class. Bob is a bit of a 'trickster' though and is often trying to convince the classes to spend some of their highly coveted "Weller Bux".
Bob has been a part of my art room for many years...and the kids love listening to the 'arguments' and 'disputes' we get into. It's been a long-running joke that I can hear Bob talk whereas the kids cannot. It's quirky...and often times fairly humorous...and just one of the wonderful experiences kids love about the CIS Art Room.
And after reading this if you're wondering..."Weller Bux?"..."golden toilet?"...I'll cover those in the next few installments of "Quirky Things in the Art Room"! And I haven't even mentioned my rubber chicken, "Snickers" yet!!! :)
Have a great Thursday!!!
