Thank you to all the parents who have signed up to volunteer in their child's classroom.
We have about 45 volunteers already. I can tell that it is going to be another wonderful year for the Art Through the Ages.
I am always amazed and impressed that we have very supportive parents at our school. No wonder we have such great students!
For those who are new to this program, let me assure you that you do not need to have prior knowledge of art/art history to teach the lesson. We have a parent training for each unit, and the instruction manual is quite easy to understand. All the materials you need are provided, and if you ever need any help, you can always call or email me. I'll be happy to help you in anyway I can.
The best part of volunteering in your child's class is the reaction your child may have from your presence. I have many students come over to me and tell me proudly, "my mom/dad is going to teach Art Through the Ages!". What a terrific way to show your child that you care.
The first training will be held on September 26th at 10 am. This is for the first unit "Post-Impressionism Age", but please plan on attending especially if this is your first year. We'll go over the teaching technique and the procedure to run the program. You will also have an opportunity to meet the other parents in your child's classroom.
Thank you!
