Is Your Child An Artist?
YES!! ALL children are artists (and you are too in your own way), as I was recently reminded by Patrick, one of our fabulous
Kindermusik dads!
It reminded me of the story about the kindergarten teacher that asked her students if they were:
Artists?
Musicians?
Dancers?
Scientists?
Of course they all said,
"Yes!" enthusiastically!
Unfortunately, just three years later, teachers ask the same question in third grade, and most kids will say, "No." or "Sally is the artist..."
We hope our Kindermusik kids fair better!
So, all artists, bring your picture to your demo class on 4/13/13 or your class by 4/27/13 and earn an egg shaker from Miss Tracey!
One shaker per child, please.
