Blogger post activity

Pinterest can be used in the classroom to find many things not just art projects. It can be used to find lesson plans and stretch the limits on creativity for a child. It is a great way for students to look up projects that they can use in any class. Recipes for Family Consumer Sciences. Art projects for art. Science projects where they can learn to grow plants and such.

All About Me

My name is Lindsey Bruce. This is my first year at Henderson State University where I am a junior. I have transferred from University of Arkansas Community College at Hope where I graduated with my teaching in Associates. I plan on graduating in May of 2017 with my Bachelors and begin teaching Art in an elementary school in Arkansas. Teaching has always been one of my many passions since I was a little girl. Both of my parents have always encouraged me to follow out my dreams so that it was I am doing. I manage two frozen yogurt stores and also work at a bakery while going full time to school, so time management is a huge part of my life. I can not wait to teach my kiddos one day and to impact their lives like my past teachers have done for myself.
