Alrightie, folks- the school year is in full swing and it's time to get back to work and get back to writing. I am excited to be teaching very near my hometown and living close to my family again for the first time in 20 years. I am the new Art Teacher for Barrie and Rockwell schools in Fort Atkinson and it's been great to be back in the classroom again after having the great fortune of being able to raise my children for 6 years. I have had such a warm welcome from staff and parents at both of my schools and am working hard to learn about 600 new names. My goal is to have them learned by Halloween. I'll keep you posted on that!!
In the meantime, I am busy going through all of the treasures that have been collected and donated over the last 30 years or so. What a great collection, but sometimes slightly overwhelming!! If you have anything you are interested in donating, please feel free to call or email me and let me know what you have. I will do my best to continue the treasure collecting tradition of my wonderful predecessor!
Currently I could use donations of the following:
- baby wipes (for quick hand cleaning)
- clorox wipes or similar brand (for quick table cleaning)
These two items will be great for helping to streamline cleanup in the art room and allow the kids to be working on art longer and standing in line to clean up a lot less!
- I am also looking for sheet music to use as the background paper for a few different art projects. Perhaps old piano books you have lying around??
Thank you so much and stay tuned for some awesome artwork!!
Mrs. Keller :)
