About the store
I have taught K-8 visual arts for 3 years at a charter school in the Portland, OR area. During those 3 years I also taught English Language Arts, drama, and cooking to students in grades 6-8. I have been an artist in residence at a Spanish Immersion school and have shown my own artwork in a gallery in Oregon City, OR. Currently, I teach 6th grade language arts and social studies at a private school in Bend, OR. I am passionate about the arts, literacy, and history. I hope other teachers will find my materials as useful as they have been for me. Happy teaching!
