Hello World!
Welcome students, parents, colleagues, family, friends and world to our classroom blog! I had been toying with the idea of blogging for months now and I finally decided to give it a go. As a first year teacher, there are a million and one things to do, but I
believe blogging about our work is the perfect "window" into our
classroom. Now that I have gotten my "sea legs" in the classroom, I
hope to update the blog with vignettes of what takes place in our
classroom.
Designing the blog was relatively easy...I'm an artist :), but words have never been my thing. Coming up with a name that didn't sound silly after saying it aloud was a difficult task to say
the least. After careful consideration, I decided on "From Maryvale to MoMA". MoMA is an acronym for The Museum of Modern Art. The title of the blog isn't meant to mislead anyone into making a direct association between Maryvale Elementary School and MoMA, but is an expression of my belief that education creates opportunity and with hard work and dedication I KNOW that each of my students will have a bright future. Maybe one day their artwork will be exhibited in MoMA next to Jean-Michel Basquiat, Takashi Murakami, Andy Warhol, or Frida Kahlo.
I hope you will stay tuned to what’s to come in my world of teaching and my kids' world of learning about art! Great things are on the horizon….
