Summer Update

So it has been a very busy but good summer. I went to Montreal with my family, watched fireworks on the beach for the fourth, taught summer camp, went to TN Arts Academy, and now I'm setting up my brand new classroom! Here are a few pictures from all of my adventures.

My new school... more still to come!

This is where my kiln will be going!   Cabinets, counter space, and a utility sink!

Bright colors everywhere! This is just a small section of hallway!

I've been in my classroom all last week, and attended an art teacher inservice yesterday. I'll continue to post updates as the new school year begins!
