Teach Art to Kindergarten Students

In Knox County, Art is not a part of the kindergarten curriculum.  To fill that gap, the PTA sponsors a Cultural Arts program where parent volunteers go into the classroom once a month and teach a prepared art lesson to the children.  The lessons are written for you and take about 45 minutes to an hour to complete.  The materials needed in a given month are provided on the art cart in the art room and you wheel it down to the classroom and get ready for smiling faces to greet you because they are so excited to see you!  You coordinate with other volunteers in your classroom (if there are more than the recommended two), as well as the teacher to find the best time in any given month to teach the lessons.

It is a total blast and a great way to be involved in your child's school by getting in their classroom once a month!  If you have questions or would be interested in teaching Cultural Arts, please contact Karen Gitto at culturalarts1@fpspta.com.
