With experience as a fourth-grade elementary teacher and as a STEM instructor at The Discovery Center\, she has a strong foundation in classroom instruction and student development. Prior to her teaching career\, she was an instructor at a fused glass art studio\, where she taught people of all ages to create glass art\, cultivating a deep love for combining art with education. Emily is eager to bring her unique blend of teaching and artistic skills to a new role\, where she can inspire a continued enjoyment of art in the next generation. \nCreation Station: March Themes\n\nApril 7: Shrinking Plastic \nApril 14: Christa Rijneveld Animal Collages \nApril 21: Insect Houses \nApril 28: Beaded Suncatchers  \nFamilies can now register for the entire month at once during the first week of each month—and enjoy $5 in savings when bundled.
