It is so great to be here!

I will be your other blog facilitator here on PAEAblog.  My name is Christina Uliano, though you may see my name sometimes as Christina Franko Uliano (I got married and changed my name, but still remain Franko at school).  I teach art at a K-8 school in the School District of Philadelphia in South Philly.  My school is a wonderful mix of many different cultures and races, so I always get to design lessons that celebrate everyone’s heritage.  I also love to focus on recycling and sustainability with all my students, so you can always find us cutting up some newspaper and egg cartons to design a chic dress for the runway, or creating new uses for toilet paper rolls.

When I’m not in the classroom, you can find me trying to brush up on my Spanish, French, and Arabic languages.  I also love to garden, travel, tend to my beehive, and cook.

You can see more of my classroom on Facebook and Instagram.  I’m currently working on a blog too, so I’ll keep you all updated when that goes live.

Thanks for tuning in, and I can’t wait to meet you all!  I love to connect with other art teachers to gain inspiration.  Keep up all the great art education in Pennsylvania!
