My Students

I have the pleasure of teaching art to some of the most creative Pre-K to second grade scholars in St. Paul. They love to use their creative minds in all that they do and I am learning from these amazing children every day. We work together to support each other's strengths and talents and allow them to shine in our classroom. Our school is very diverse and takes pride in welcoming and engaging all scholars and families. We are committed to creating a school family where kids feel safe, loved, and connected.

As a school, we take pride in creating an environment where we celebrate diversity and "inspire all scholars to reach high levels of social and academic achievement and to become future leaders through a collaborative system of support" (our school's mission statement).

My Project

I am so lucky to teach art to some of the youngest learners in our school. With my Pre-K scholars, I love to give them a chance to learn about art through exploration of materials. I know that they will enjoy hands on materials such as play dough, fun paints, and collage materials.

My pre-K scholars love to explore and having a variety of materials to learn about the world around them is just what they need!

One of my favorite things about to teaching art to these young learners is to give them materials and watch them create. I am amazed by their talent and can't wait to give them new materials!
