In November, Ms. Coreen Abbot of the Museo Italo-Americano will be visiting us for an art lesson in perspective and portraiture.
Her visit is part of the CIAO (Children's Italian Art Outreach) program.
Students are to choose a family member, friend, acquaintance, saint, classmate, or celebrity whose portrait they wish to paint.
ON NOVEMBER 1, EACH STUDENT WILL NEED A 6" X 8" COMPUTER IMAGE OF THEIR PORTRAIT SUBJECT'S HEAD.

- From the University of California, Davis, I graduated with a BA in English Literature (major) and Teacher Education (minor). While at UCD, I competed on the swim team and was a yearbook staff writer. From the University of the Pacific in Stockton, California, I earned a Master's Degree in Education, specializing in Curriculum and Instruction. While at the University of the Pacific I also wrote and received a grant for a literacy project and for a travel project. I possess a Clear Multiple Subject teaching credential with Supplementary Authorization in English from the State of California. I have passed the examination for California Teachers of English Learners (CLAD/CTEL) in all three domains. In addition, I am classified as a 'NCLB Highly Qualified Teacher'. For eleven years I have taught fourth grade (and I love it!) My education experiences also include 5th, a 4th/5th combination class, K, 1st, high school varsity/jv sports coaching and a unique & rewarding experience supervising incarcerated dual diagnosis developmentally disabled adults in math and reading activities. I am so excited to work with you this year!!
