I can’t believe I’ve already gone through my first year of teaching. The time has really gone by so quick, I can barely believe that only last August, I was in my classroom putting up posters and nervously planning lessons. Less than a year ago, I started another blog in order to inspire myself and hopefully others out there with my students’ art. Now, going through the blog posts and posting up the last project […]
