TheK/1s have been studying the Costa Rican Rainforest. In art they made trees, leaves and vines, plus exotic, tropical flowers and parrots. These were all assembled in their classroom along with their research and drawings of rainforest life. The transformation was magical.

About Me
- Susie
- I've been teaching art at Parker since the school's beginning in 1991. Working with students over their kindergarten through eighth grade year becomes a longitudinal study of creative child development. It's inspiring and energizing to be part of the students' amazing growth as artists thoughtful young adults.
