Hello there. My name is Dusty and I instruct a series of natural history art programs for children and teens at local community centers and libraries. All classes are very educational and I feel that home school students and parents would appreciate the value of Nature’s Art classes.

I am interested in getting the word out to home school students and parents about my classes. I am currently putting class schedules together for December and January.

Go to the Michigan History magazine website and download the Gerald Ford issue of The Mitten for free. (Sorry, they no longer have copies to sell.) Scroll down to almost the bottom of the page, in the pink section, this is where you’ll find President Ford’s info. Don’t forget to d/l the teacher’s supplement also. Brought to you by Michigan History Magazine.
