One grade level at a time.&nbsp; One lesson at a time.&nbsp; I am taking time to transition.&nbsp; It is a new way to lesson plan, to prep materials, and to assess.&nbsp; Change can be a challenge.&nbsp; With challenges comes growth.&nbsp; As an art educator for 27 years, I am always looking for new challenges and ways to grow.&nbsp; TAB/Choice will do the same for my students.&nbsp; We will all be challenged and will grow together!<br /><strong>Contact Information</strong>:&nbsp;</span><a href="mailto:artedjen@gmail.com">artedjen@gmail.com&#8203;</a></div>  <div><div style="height: 20px;
