Wolftrap Creates

Brave innovators and creators. Nearly 600 students K-6. As I enter my 17th year teaching elementary art, I am fortunate to call WTES my educational home.

@Mrs_Wld_History I had already completed 6 hours of training, thinking I was finished. I was so disheartened to be given 6 more (4 Zoom + 2 others) before COB on Friday, a week from our 1st day back.😫😖😣😢

Our book is released today #WhatHappenedToYou I'm grateful to everyone who invests their time & money on this book. @Oprah & I believe it will be worth it - the core concepts discussed can help us all be more curious, compassionate, patient & kind to others & ourselves

Kids need to be engaged and empowered to grow into independent learners.

@_LisaCherry @marymered @ThriveApproach @stuart_guest @TouchBase_UK @BeaconHouseTeam @BarrowfordHead Any great advice re how to manage Mother's Day in schools in a trauma informed way?

[Wolftrap Creates @CreatesWolftrap]

💚🐺🎨 @WolftrapES It will be helpful for all in person Wolfies to tear out 3-5 sketchbook pages from their Art sketchbooks when they return. When folded in half, they should fit nicely in a folder already coming to school. 🎨🐺💚

In this unprecedented moment, encouraging kids to be creative and to think outside-of-the-box becomes even more important.
