About Me

My photo
Elizabeth James
I am in my second year of teaching S.T.E.A.M. in a rural elementary school. I absolutely love creating engaging lessons that incorporate the ideas of STEM with art! I graduated from Baldwin Wallace with a degree in early childhood education with a 4-5 endorsement. I am currently pursuing my master's in art education with the hopes of earning a K-12 multi-age visual arts teaching license.
