I was quite pleased with how well everything went today. I was finally able to go into the art class today and have the kids do the project we were planning for them about a month or so ago. That was to have them help me write a song by writing one sentence about a problem that they are facing or that the world faces. They were also asked to draw me while I played my guitar and sung for them. They all did very well on their drawings. Some of them finished early and were allowed to do whatever else they wanted that pertains to art. A few of them either drew a picture or made snowflakes for me. I did not even ask them to. They just did.

Afterwards, I ran the Power Hour program and did a science experiment with the kids. Here is a link to the experiment that I did:

I had about ten kids for the experiment and three of them stayed and worked on their homework. The rest of the day was, yet again, spent entering data into the Kidtrax system in order to track their attendance.
