New Year

So it's been awhile since my last post and quite a bit has happened since then!  Brooke started second grade and Tyler is another year older.  We have celebrated Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas, and the New Year!  Christmas for Brooke consisted of endless art supplies and for Ty is was endless gifts of Transformers.

Christmas:

 Brooke and her second grade teacher Mrs. Goodwin!

I have also been taking pictures for family and friends.  It's been a fun adventure and I have learned quite a bit about photography!  I snuck this picture in on my last session!

The most exciting news is the launch of my friend, Vicki Baker, and my arts integration blog:  www.applesandbrushesart.blogspot.com.  Teaching Common Core standards through the arts has been the most exciting change in my career as a teacher.  It has become a creative outlet for me and made teaching even more exciting.  I hope you have time to check out our new blog. 

Happy New Year!
