Victoria Bush has been teaching art at the Cody Elementary Schools for three years. I ve got one kiddo that, you know, he does struggle academically, but he s got kind of like a spunk, she said.
Bush said the student always wants to do the assignment his own way. And I think that maybe it can be tough in the classroom. But I think within art that s exactly what you re looking for.
She said he s so creative and really comes out of his shell when he s creating art in her classroom. It s amazing to see a kid that does struggle maybe in other classrooms and other settings really feel proud of something that he s doing, and really be a leader in the classroom, whereas maybe that s not an opportunity that he would get otherwise, said Bush.
