Welcome, I'm your teacher, Mrs J! 

Each week we will discover and learn a new concept. Then, engage in an activity based on the concept.

Please look ahead at each week to gather needed supplies before class. You will need common art supplies (markers, paper, crayons) and other recycled items that should be found commonly around your home. Some weeks we will not require any supplies to engage in the activity. If you do not have the supplies, you can improve with a similar item you have at home or just watch along with the activity. Our classes are recorded so you can do the activity at a later time.
