Last week, Clara and I talked about how some things are difficult before they are easy (Thomas Fuller quote).

My Student was so excited, blown away, could't believe the images he was looking at, 2 in particular....the man sitting on a chair on the side of the building! And, the Elmo Dolls. These images showed his compassion and concern for the man on the chair, while Elmo frightened him, my student told me all about his bad Elmo dream, pacing around, I kept writing, we finally found some peace and solutions on why he feels safe at home with family, and the door locked......trauma.

Last week, Brittany made this smile into a sad face. This activity really challenged Brittany at first by forcing her to think outside of the box, but she rose to the challenge by completing not only this drawing, but 2 others. She also made a flower into a star and a cloud into a marshmallow.

Last week, Isaac reimagined this cloud as a piece of cotton candy. He enjoyed adding colors to make it more like what he imagined in his mind.

We talked about how one person can set in motion the process of changing the community for good. The tutor was gratified to realize that Jordan had possessed a maturity about this topic far beyond his years. Jordan chose to write a letter to his hero, Batman. The tutor enjoyed reminiscing about the Caped Crusader while learning about Jordan's thankfulness for the benefits of superior crime fighting.

# data[].attributes.body
Jordan was especially interested in learning more about his music lovers community. He loves the rock band Gorillaz. The tutor was surprised to learn that Gorillaz is an animated musical group. Jordan also shared some nice stories about members of his extended family.

This is one of the 3 drawings that Isaac created for this activity last week. He enjoyed adding color and exploring shapes during this activity. In his other two drawings, he made a smile into a mad face and a sun into a crescent moon.
