This year through Green River Community College, Zachary's school participated in the Art Docent program. Each classroom had an Art Docent, and I was the lucky parent to be the Art Docent for Kindergarten. At first I was a Little concerned, because I have never really studied Art or Artists; however, since Zachary struggles with fine motor skills I thought that I would be a good example for him, and teach his class Art. We studied and completed a lot of Van Gough's work, which was very interesting. I'm very thankful that our lead Art Docent moms were very creative, and gave me several project ideas. I must also say through this experience I learned to have a deeper appreciation for Art. When I was a Special Education teacher, I was spoiled because I had a para-educator who loved to teach Art, and as a result I gave her the opportunity to teach Art and she did a wonderful job with my students; however, I wished I would have paid attention better, and maybe this would not have been such a challenge for me. Needless to say, I'm happy that I did it because it gave me the opportunity to practice my teaching skills, and I got to spend time with Zachary at school. Enjoy our photos!
