Full Circle
I have never repeated a lesson in nearly 20 years of teaching.... Nor have I ever taken a sick day - ever - Cod liver oil! With the exception of surgery this year and I had to take 5 days before Christmas Break, because that was when the surgeon was available and not during..., (It was non-negotiable. I asked!)
I have taught general education classes to first through fourth grade. High school English in a prison. English composition and ceramics to college students.
I starting teaching art, sixteen years ago and it wasn't until this year that I consciously decided to reteach kaleidoscopes, (however, with more emphasis on the engineering aspects of the device - for the stake of STEAM!)
I've come full circle, (see the link to my ed. blog below)...
... It's time for a new circle...

Prior to 2011-12, (the website that just has my name), the district controlled all websites, so those may be archived somewhere - I have pics of what the art room looked like from 2007-2010 somewhere on one of the latter sites. In these links I also have a link to my educational blog and have links to my own professional presenc site, (purposely without the 'e' - I am anti-establishment kind of person - in addition to being an artist - who are known for going against the mainstream - it's what makes us different :-)
The Last YEA Pictures
Truly, thank you ALL for a great 12 years! It has been an adventure full of endless possibilities!
