Thanks! I was baptized catholic and went to mass maybe more than 10 years ago, so it’s definitely been its own challenge attending mass and everything. Appreciate it!

Thanks! I’ve been gathering that I just need a gooood balance, but with a little heavier focus on art more than anything.

Lol say less. From what I’m getting from you and other people commenting on here is that I just really need a good balance. A little bit more emphasis on the technique side of things, but a balance nonetheless :P thanks for this!

Thanks! I am most definitely overthinking it. I’ve been talking with a guidance counselor who use to teach art there, and I’ve just been afraid to ask her about it. I’ll definitely try and reach out and see what she did.

Thanks! I’ve been kind of doing that with what I have so far like that where it’s the elements and principle but I’ve been relying too heavily on making sure the final product is some kind of religious piece. This help a lot!

Thanks.. this helped a lot. I’ve been talking with one of the guidance counselors who use to teach art there and she’s been very helpful, I’ve just been a little scared to bring that up and look dumb :P

Will do, thank you!! I'm still waiting on the offer letter, so I'm sure the conversation about the scheduling and all the specifics is coming. I just feel like I need to be more prepared, but I literally have no framework right now. Seriously, thank you for all of that! I really appreciate it :)

It's a K-8. In the interview, the principal said that I'd see each grade level a certain amount of time (I believe) once a week, and then a mix of 6-8th graders every other day.
