During our extended spring break this year the school in which I teach art has taken the opportunity to rearrange, clean, organize, and move classrooms. Next year I will be teaching art in a separate building from the school, due to a larger enrollment in lower grades. The classroom I was in this past year 2019-20, will now be a K-3 classroom which is the first year ever that our school has separated K-3 and K-4. So I will have a room that was in dire need of storage for supplies. It is now coming together. Every year I post pictures of moving rooms and organizing, I am hoping I can catch a break for a year or two after this summer. These cabinets are being installed by a much needed cheerleader for the art program. I cannot be thankful enough for the support and encouragement that comes to me. My passion is to give these kids an experience in art education that not only teaches them creative skills and techniques but equips them with critical thinking and communications skills they can use beyond the classroom. It may seem like just cabinets, or just some paper, or yarn, or paint.. It is so much more and the picture is much bigger. Beneath the surface of it all, these cabinets this learning space is means to enhance the learning, enrich the childhood of those families this school serves. What a blessing to be a part of the change for the positive!
