Miss Arty Pants: New School, New Classes, New Students!

This is my sixth year teaching art and I just got a new classroom! Lucky for me, I love change because this year there has been plenty of it! I recently started my new job at Ballard Middle School in Huxley, Iowa and I believe it is going to be a wonderful year in my art room! I'm teaching 6th grade art and 7th and 8th grade Digital Photo/Technology and couldn't be more excited!

To clear up any first day jitters I played a little game with my students (which I can't disclose here because it involves some mystery and I don't want my future students to already have the inside scoop! But if your curiousity is killing you, message me and I'll fill you in!) and go over rules/expectations. I also ask that my students fill out a brief survey so that I know where they are with experience and skill level to help guide my instruction throughout the year. The kids have been great and I'm really looking forward to getting my nice, clean room filthy with art making! Enjoy the clean room and empty shelf photos while they last because they won't last long!
