Once again I am embarking on a new journey as an art educator.  I have been hired to teach Jr. High art at Jackson Middle School.  

My first three weeks have been a bit overwhelming, learning new policies and procedures, getting to know the teachers, faculty and staff.  I am really looking forward to see what the rest of the year has in store for me.  As always, I will keep all my followers informed as to any community art shows and/or competitions my students will be involved in.

This year I am embarking on a new journey as an art educator.  I have been hired to teach elementary school art to 500 students in kindergarten through fifth grade. I was definitely spoiled rotten at my last school teaching only 50 art students. 

My first week at the elementary level was a bit overwhelming, learning new policies and procedures, getting to know the teachers, faculty and staff. However, my second week was a bit more smooth.  I am definitely looking forward to see what week three has in store for me.  As always, I will keep ya'll informed as to any community art shows and/or competitions my students will be involved in.
