More Fun projects with elementary students
Kindergarteners explored narrative play through a problem solving story game. They later made and added their stories to accordion books.
While at Longfellow Elementary I taught a weaving class where students learned about the historical and diverse examples of weaving and then created their own.
Rosemont Bakery
When teaching at Longfellow Elementary, Rosemont Bakery reached out to request a student-made mural made up of monochromatic fruits and vegetables to make a "rainbow of fruit"
Y.M.C.A.
At the YMCA, I have worked as a Lead Camp Counselor, Preschool Substitute, in the Day Care, and as a Teacher in their remote school program during the 2020 pandemic.
Art Club
Weekly art club at Reiche Community School in Portland. Students helped create winter themed decorations for the school's annual Winterfest. They learned how to make a few types of 3D paper crafts but were not limited on what shapes they made. They especially enjoyed the "glitter day" where they added glitter to accent their previously made decorations.
UMaine
Five week after school program for elementary and middle school children offered each semester by the Art Education program at the University of Maine in Orono.​
​
Kindergarteners worked on mask making, painting, and bookmaking.
