Abstract
The various ways my students make sense of their worlds both in and out of school has always fascinated me, but l owe a special debt of gratitude to Natalie, whose incessant doodling ultimately drove me to explore the contribution of art to regular classroom curriculum. While I initially considered her drawings a distraction, I soon realized that they helped her relate to what we were investigating in class. Through her pictures, Natalie showed methat art washer pathwayto learning.
