I did the “Unhappy Triad” this summer. I tore my ACL, Meniscus & MCL. I’m teaching HS art to 6 different courses (3 studio flips per day). I’m in a full leg brace w/ ice packs, a stool & a crutch. 10 months of teaching in front of a camera prepared me to pivot on a dime. Comical.

About last night, I stayed up well past my bedtime to support Ms. Arriguin and her talented senior from @APSNAWarriors for the @CFBPlayoff #partyattheplayoff at @pullman_yards! It was pure joy to watch 5 students join the @MARTAtransit through #spraypaint! #apsarts @apsupdate

My daughters (triplet 12yo girls) are all BELTING “Defying Gravity” and it warms this little theatre major’s heart. I may teach visual arts 🎨, but my core foundation is theatre arts. 🎭 I love hearing their voices soar… Parenting is a trip!!

Teacher example finished: Coil vessel built, carved and burnished. Ready for bisque firing and then a class-wide Ceramics Saggar Firing. Hoping this one doesn’t explode like last year’s example. May the kiln gods be in my favor… #apsarts

Today we had 40 students from National Art Honor Society and FBLA joining forces to create arts activity kits for 60 children at CHOA (Children’s Healthcare Of Atlanta). These kids are alright. #apsarts #northatlantaart

It’s exhausting being a HS teacher. I love it, I’m grateful, and I know that what I do really matters, but I am also just exhausted and ready for a week off. It’s only 6am and I feel like I’m 6pm tired. It’s going to be a strong coffee kinda morning.

I did a thing! I presented at the GAEA fall conference. I loved seeing teachers creating their own mini sample books & having fun conversations about my process & presentation. I appreciate the support & opportunity to share and shine, @erickson_sarah_ #apsarts
