Introductions


My name is Laura Funk and I teach Art full-time at South Middle School in Morgantown, West Virginia.  This is my fifth year teaching in WV and I am team leader and work on curriculum development at South Middle School as well.  I enjoy improving student learning any way possible and integrating technology frequently to enhance my lessons.  I attend conferences every year to be sure I keep current in my creative processes and to seek connections around the state where I might draw inspiration from fellow teachers and their ideas.  My favorite media to use personally is painting, but I enjoy dabbling in everything.  I see myself eventually becoming an administrator, Asst. Principal at least.  I like leading and being a beacon for change and improvement.

Hope all is going well as the new school year is off and running. I've a great couple of opening days and I'm really looking forward to working with this new group of students.

  3. It's nice to meet you Laura. I would love to hear about the technology resources that you use in the art room. That's great that you want to be in Administration one day, I don't think that I could ever do it.

  4. Hi Laura!
    I'm impressed that you teach Art. I'm not really artistic and can't draw a straight line with a ruler :) You must be very creative so I'm interested to see your ideas and work. Good luck this fall and have a great semester!!
