How cool to be surprised at an action shot of me teaching! I love these kids and their adaptation of Number the Stars blew me away. #teachingartist #kidartists

I love my job. Every time I meet people as dedicated to their community as #mpbonline is, my heart grows a few sizes (especially when we have a Jr participant!) #storieschangetheworld #pbs (at Mississippi Public Broadcasting)

It’s a beautiful day in the neighborhood when storytelling and advocacy for youth and early education join forces (at WFSU)

I love that there is so much conversation around teaching artists (between this and Jessica James it all just feels right). I’m curious though about why artistic men are so lacking in joining this game.

Headed to the art museum with my dudes (plus Lyra). Love the big hearts and brains on these Trailblazers and watching them grow up to discover their voices. "Everything isn't like it seems" --Nolan #asctrailblazers #modernart #fivesnaps #teachingartist

First day of Spring Break Drama Camp in Moscow. Rules made, now all we have to make is a whole Shakespeare in a week. #shakesresidency #midsummernightsdream (at Moscow, Idaho)

Maybe the best part of this week---the kiddos that took the non-glory jobs upon themselves. #proudteachingartistmama (at Petra Academy)
