Hello!

I am an art teacher with the Fairfield Community Schools teaching grades K through 5. I enjoy working with the children and helping them learn to use the creative side of their brain. I hope you enjoy my blog and seeing a bit of what we work on in the art classes.

Fun Painting Site on the web

Summer Time!

Having been done with classes for a week now, I stopped in to water my plants and put some files away. The room is cleaner with everything pretty much put away, but very empty...empty and quiet without the children. I absolutely love working with children, seeing what they create, hearing what they have to say. It is good to have time to regroup, sort files, read, reflect, study and yes, relax, but it is also good to see a little face smile up at me in the grocery as several did tonight. I was glad to see each one, happy to be a part of their lives. Have a wonderful summer, kids! See you in the fall!
