I thought I'd share my latest reject from submission-land. I made this accordion book for the vintage Halloween theme and I just got it back in the mail. I had fun making backgrounds and choosing vintage images to add to the book. This is the front cover... the left page is an old cabinet card that I altered Don't you just love creepy twins???? The right page says,"Which witch is which?" and finally, the back cover, ooohh spooky!
I have a degree in Child Development and have been teaching for 25 years. Most of these years have been spent with second graders with the exception of 4 years in first grade. I love introducing my students to the joy of reading "chapter books" and the language of literature.
I am a mixed-media artist and am lucky to be teaching at a fine arts magnet school. I use music and visual art every day in my classroom.
I have been married for 29 years and my husband teaches High School English. I have raised 4 wonderful kids and am still working on the yellow labs that live in our house.
