First day of the school year at University of Kentucky! This photo series foreshadows a year full of fun and thinking. 😆🤔

This workshop was also super special because my cooperating teacher from my WVU elementary student teaching placement, Lisa Reese, came to the workshop! She drove up all the way from West Virginia! 💙💛

I got to lead a ukulele songwriting workshop for the University of Kentucky Creative Arts Living Learning Program!

Learned some chords and rocked out to popular songs, analyzed Tupac's poetry, composed melodies, and wrote responses. It was a great hour of music making! ☺️
