Well it happened, after not having to take any sick days since I came back I managed to catch Strep Throat :( But I am back and feeling much better!! Most of our classes are doing 3D work like pottery and paper mache so they were probably very bummed that they weren't able to work on their projects, but thank goodness for this drawing activity/game that is always a hit! The best part is any grade can play and students usually have a blast!

Meet Mrs. Smith
Hi, I am so happy you are here! My name is Jillette Smith and my journey as an art educator has taken me on an incredible ride. I began teaching in a rural school district located in Bloomsburg, Pennsylvania. I taught in this district nearly 8 years. Recently, I began teaching art at a larger district near central PA; Williamsport Area School District, home of the Millionaires! I am very proud to be a Millionaire but miss my Bloomsburg Panthers dearly! I teach grades four, five, and six while serving roughly 500 students. Aside, from teaching; I am very passionate about professional development and sharing/collaborating with other art educators. I spend lots of time as a volunteer on the board of PA's chapter of NAEA (National Art Education Association). As the Regional Representative for PAEA, I help support art teachers in our local school districts by providing them with Act 48 accredited opportunities that pertain to them as artists and art educators, advocate for arts education in PA schools. I love serving on this board because of their strong contribution and dedication for art advocacy and quality arts education in schools for every student. The network of peers is invaluable to me and has shaped who I am as an art educator! To learn more about PAEA you can check out the website here! Archives
