back by popular demand

bob ross has made a comeback.  the truth is, i'm old enough to have watched him when his show aired on channel 10 the first time, in 1983. 

i would sit, mesmerized by the relaxing brushstrokes and soothing voice of the "happy trees" artist.

and now i'm having fun as my students do the same.  enter:  a room full of 7th graders...casual conversation turns to bob ross, i put on a video, and thus a new tradition is born!  today we listened to a remix song encouraging the creativity in everyone.  it is stuck in all of our minds now, but it's a good message, so that's ok, right?

if someone talks while we are working and listening to bob ross, they will "shhh" each other, which i find hilarious.  i think i'll order the tshirt that says, "make mistakes in life?  it's ok, they're all birds now."

what's your favorite bob ross quote?
