Dear Students and Families,

I am so excited to be at Memorial Junior School teaching Contemporary Art and Design.  I recently moved to New Jersey from Houston, Texas, where I taught middle school art and design for 3 years.  I am a practicing artist and crafter in my free time.  I have a Bachelor's of Art from the University of Houston with a minor in Education.

In Contemporary Art & Designs students will focus on the skills of sewing, cooking, and design. 

Cooking:

Students will learn about nutrition, grocery budgeting, and how to read and cook a basic recipe.

Sewing:

6th grade students will learn basic handsewing skills.

7th and 8th grade students will learn basic machine sewing skills.

Design:

Students will use digital design tools to create projects related to food and sewing as well as safety.

In my classroom I place an emphasis on growth over perfection.  Students are encouraged to give their best effort and to learn from their mistakes as they learn new skills that will be a lifelong benefit to them.

Sincerely,

Ms. sigler
