Welcome back to the Westlawn Art Blog!

Hello Westlawn Families!

I'm so excited to be returning to Westlawn on November 27th! Of course it is bittersweet, since it means I will no longer be able to spend days at home with my 3 month old daughter, Naomi (I'm sure many of you know what that's like... pray for me)! Despite that heartache, I am truly excited to see all my students and get back to creating art with them!

I was so fortunate to have an excellent long term sub while I was on leave. Johanna Schread has an extensive art background and is currently enrolled in UWM for art education. Her role as my long term sub gave her a good look into the life of an elementary art teacher, and she did a great job diving right in! Her last day at Westlawn is tomorrow (November 21st). Please join me in thanking her for her hard work and dedication to our Westlawn students over the past couple of months. She did a wonderful job!

I look forward to updating the blog at the end of December with pictures and descriptions of students and their work. I hope you have had a chance to talk with your kids about what they have been doing in art so far this school year. Lots of good stuff!

While I don't have any pictures of student work, I do have a few photos of our sweet daughter (at 10 days old) and our new family of three!
