Its the final Friday of summer... Not sure where summer went but I'm pretty pumped for the new school year to begin.

This year will be full of firsts for me- first real art room (no more cart, no more teaching in a library, no more teaching in 42 different classrooms each week), first experience in a middle school, and the first time I've taught in the A.C. I'm already missing my elementary kiddos but I'm very upbeat about this new opportunity.

The teacher I'm replacing taught for 30 years and is now enjoying retirement. I have a blank slate to write my curriculum and teach lessons I'm truly passionate about.

I AM EXCITED!

I have been going crazy printing and posting all the fabulous art-related images in my new room...this is one of many that has been put up already.
