WELCOME BACK YOUNG ONES!!

BEGINNING THE 2017-2018 SCHOOL YEAR

Wow,

I'm still here and kicking.

This is the start of my 38th year here at Whitney High School in Cerritos, Ca. teaching the Arts.

My home away from home.

Feels so good to get my classroom up and running again,

and to be blogging again for that matter.

I really slacked off this summer.

Too busy with other stuff like trying to loose weight,

eat only a whole foods plant based diet (this was really hard),

 read as many books as I could,

(averaged about 1 book every 2-3 days, my 2 favs Lilac Girls and The Nightingale)

working on the yard up at the cabin,

laying out in the sun (I'm brown as a berry as my mother used to say)

and sleeping!!

Barely turned on my computer for 2 months.

I'm really looking forward to my classes this year,

only 7 preps.

Woo-hoo!!!

Beg. & Intermediate 2-D Art,

Ceramics I & II

Beg. & Int. 3-D Art,

& 

my 7th Grade Art Wheel kiddos

So this is what my classroom looks like when it's all clean & shiny.

A very special thanks to our Custodial Crew for always making sure my room gets squeaky clean.

Check out those freshly washed and polished floors!

That's what I'm talking about  :)

So here's to another great year.!

I look forward to getting to know you all

and bringing out the artist in you!

Cheers!
