This is my third year to teach Art at Great Oaks Elementary, and I am
LOVING it!!!
Art has always been my passion and I feel like I am in the right
place on my professional path. I earned my undergraduate degree from the
University of Illinois in Early Childhood/Elementary Education and also
received a Minor Degree in Fine Arts. I got my Masters Degree from Pan
American University, taught for 9 years in Kindergarten, 1st, 2nd and 4th
grade, then took ten years off from teaching to raise my four children.
My children are now in high school at RRHS, middle school at Walsh,
and 5th grade at Great Oaks. I taught 4th grade here for three years before
making the move to the art world.
I am looking forward to a great year!!
I hope that students will learn to appreciate the beauty of the world around
them. I hope that they will have opportunities to enrich their lives with
art and enjoy using their senses to create a variety of their own
masterpieces. I hope that they will be confident to express themselves
through the many mediums that we will explore this year, and creatively use
their vivid imaginations.
