About Me!I've been teaching Art since 2006. I started teaching lower elementary, and I did that for 3 years. Then I moved to a district where I taught Kindergarten through 8th grade art for 4 years. Now I have been in my current job for 8 years teaching 4th through 8th grade art!
In my free time I enjoy Reading, Watching TV/Movies, Drawing, Hanging out with family & friends, and shopping. Education: I received my BA in K-12 Art Education, and Studio Art from Iowa Wesleyan College in 2006. I received my MA in Art Education with an emphasis on Leadership through Boston University in 2016. My Philosophy: I believe that every student can create with a little motivation. The trick at the middle levels is to have students 'want' to try and get over the 'my artwork is horrible' stage. My Classes: I teach my 4th and 5th grade students on a 6 day cycle all year long. I see the students in 6th, 7th, and 8th grade 30 to 35 days in a row each year. |
