In 2018 I joined the Lacey Township Preschool team and began teaching PSD -Preschool Disabled and Inclusion. Once again I fell in love with preschool as well as my new district and my amazing new team. I immediately signed up at Kean University to complete my masters in Special Education and in May 2021 I will finally graduate. My aim is to hang my hat at the Lacey School District and be a foundational part of a growing early childhood program is a community oriented district.

Inspired by my overwhelming love for Books, Books and more Books along with the need for some funding in the Preschool Program where I taught, I helped to coordinate a book fair to raise money and help get us BOOKS!!
The theme of the book fair was Circus. My class kicked off the decorating for this event by creating a hallway filled with clowns. The Book fair was a HUGE success.

ART SHOWS
The artist in me has been very lucky to have many outlets for my creative energy. Art has always been a blessing of mine and I was fortunate to own an Art Studio for 5 years (see link Smarty Paints). As the owner of an Art Studio, each year I hosted a tremendous Art Show to showcase the talent of our students.
Later when I moved on to teaching preschool, I once again was fortunate to work in a program that encouraged and supported the Arts. Each year as part of their curriculum they encouraged us to host a yearly Art Show. To determine the theme for each show I used a Project/Study method of teaching. I would spend some time observing the students while offering them a variety of different items to explore to uncover a topic that would be most meaningful to them. We would then explore that subject in a variety of different ways. The end result would be our amazing art show.
Below are the results from a few of the Art Shows I have coordinated both at preschool and at my art studio. Please click on buttons below to view something marvelous. It never ceases to amaze me the opportunity for learning found when creating together.
