An Art docent is a person who comes to the classroom and shares artwork with the students. They put together an art project for the students to do modeling after the art that was shared. Parents in the past who have been an art docent loved it!Back to Top
Can my child celebrate their birthday in class?
Yes, I can save the last ten minutes of the day for your child to celebrate. I like to suggest that your child give a gift of a book to our classroom instead of a sugary treat. If your child gives a book, please have them include a picture of themselves inside the front cover of the book along with their name.Back to Top
