Welcome to the intersection of Art, Science & Literacy! At the heart of the work shared on this site is organized observation, a teachable skill that sharpens students' ability to pay close attention to detail. When students are given ongoing opportunities to mindfully observe their surroundings and carefully sketch what they see, they accumulate a wealth of information, which can, in turn, be communicated through various genres of writing. With this in mind, I invite you to explore the classroom and professional resources provided here, peruse the studies, browse the gallery and follow my blog as I travel around the trunk of one of my favorite trees.
