Who am I?

Hello to everyone out there in cyber world! My name is Becky Cook (maiden name, Lewis). I am currently the K-8 art teacher at St. Robert Bellarmine School in Omaha, Nebraska. I have taught at St. Roberts for two years now, after graduating from Wayne State College May of 2013. This summer marks one year completed with Creighton University. I am expected to graduate in May 2017 (taking it slow and steady). I love teaching art and actually already incorporate technology into my art classroom, but I am always looking for ways to do even MORE.

Here is a little more about me. I grew up in Fort Calhoun, Nebraska. I am the oldest of three children, with a sister, Emily, and a brother, Connor. Emily is a Junior at UNL studying dietetics, and Connor is a Junior at Fort Calhoun High School hoping to study marketing in college. Here is a picture of my beautiful family.

Last October, I married my boyfriend of almost four years, Ryan, and took his last name. Here are some photos from our wedding which was in Arlington, Nebraska.

We have not started a family yet, but we do have one pretty crazy puppy, Miles. He just turned 1 year old at the end of January. We are VERY ready for him to grow up a little more. 

This is actually not my first experience with blogging. Last year, as a first year teacher, I semi-regularly posted in a blog about my art room. This can be found at

This year, instead of posting on the blog as often, 90% of my student's artwork is uploaded to the online art gallery, Artsonia. This gallery of my student's artwork can be found at

Please take a look at those websites. I look forward to learning more over the next eight weeks about all of you. I will post all of my blog posts here, and you may follow me on twitter @MrsCookSRB.

Take care!
