As we finish up our second week of school, I’m happy to say we are all settling in to the 2017/2018 school year. My students are always curious about the collection of Mona Lisa copies and parodies on the wall by my desk. I’m told there are 48 of them at this time. I like […]
My Slight Obsession With Mona Lisa
Welcome to my website. As you’ll read on the other pages, it is named after a wall of Mona Lisa replicas executed in a variety of mediums.

First “Week” Fun
You would think that with the first week of classes being just two days long, I wouldn’t have much to write about. We’ll see about that! I am happy to have seen all of my classes once each during these two days. The focus has been on “getting to know you”, especially with my fifth […]

Well, Hurricane Sandy has left her mark around here with power outages and toppled trees. We lost power at my house just before 4:00 yesterday and it is still out as I write this post from school.
