Two Drawings... the Dog Didn't Eat

One of my 4th grade students handed me two drawings on his way into class...

He drew a car for me.

(I told him he should build me one like it for Teacher Appreciation Week.)

The 2nd drawing was quite different. It lacked organization and definition.


It is literally just some scribbles...


Of course I suppose I cannot expect much from... HIS DOG!

(He gave his dog a pencil, and the dog "drew" the scribbles.)

I actually should inquire more as to how the dog held the pencil, etc.

My Portrait

During his free drawing time today, one of my first grade students drew this:

He handed it to me before leaving art class and said it was for me.... which is fairly common. After the class left and I looked closer, I began to notice MY multicolored shoe strings, (black and orange for school pride,) jeans, black sweatshirt with a tiger, glasses, and apparently MY hair.

MY PORTRAIT, I presumed!
