For those of you who aren’t familiar with it, Masterpiece of the Month is a monthly art program for Grades K-5 and Mrs. Miller’s 6th grade class. Students are introduced to an Artist and one of their famous masterpieces through discussion, crafts and reading. One parent (or sometimes grandparent) volunteer will be assigned to each class once a month to present an artist, read a short book about them and bring in a coordinating art project or craft to go along with it. The time commitment is about 1/2 hour during the school day, once or twice this school year, which you will coordinate with your child’s teacher. There will be a calendar set up so that you know which artist and month you are selecting ahead of time. All of the artist’s books and a large print of one of their famous masterpieces will be waiting for you at Whittier, all you’ll have to do is come up with a coordinating project!
Some parents already showed interest in volunteering through the PTA signup. (I have a list of those names.) If you would like to volunteer, are unsure if you’ve already signed up or have any questions about this program, please feel free to message Liz Berger at esolnerberger@gmail.com.
This is a great way to get in the classroom and have some fun with your child and their classmates!!
