Looking forward to a creative year together!

I was fortunate this summer to join teachers and professional artists from Montpelier and across the state of Vermont for the launch of the Vermont Creative Schools Initiative.  We spent a week together at St. Michael's College exploring creativity and planning arts integrated learning.  More to come later about the project that we are planning for fourth graders at UES this Spring.  I am excited to bring some fresh teaching skills to art classes next week!

To learn more about the launch, please visit the CSI website at: http://celvt.org/news-csilaunch.html

The artist-in-residence at our workshop was Dame Evelyn Glennie, the world's premiere percussionist!  In her TED talk, she shares about her life's work and tells a fascinating story about a teacher.  You can view it at: https://www.ted.com/talks/evelyn_glennie_shows_how_to_listen
