About Me

Elementary Art Room
I have been an elementary art teacher for eight years at a school in Southeast Michigan. I was also an art teacher at our local art museum, where I learned the best practices from so many wonderful art teachers. Before I arrived at my elementary school, the district had never had elementary art! I love filling that halls with the work my students so proudly create. I get lost in other blogs like Deep Space Sparkle and Painted Paper, so I decided to share some of my own ideas here!
