Teaching Artist Review
The program was for our 1st and 2nd graders and they loved it! They were very expressive and learned something they loved! Theon Lee really gets on their level and gets them excited for what he is teaching. The questions he asked them got them to thinking about careers and goals for themselves. -Teacher, Winding Ridge Elementary School
