Art Appreciation
Instructor: Mrs. Vasconez

This year third and fourth grades, as well as Middle School, participate in an Art Appreciation class. In this exciting and informative class, students learn about the various art periods and famous artists throughout the centuries. They will also be learning about the seven different elements of art.

Computer Class
Instructor: Mr. Parker

Pinecrest students receive computer instruction weekly in our computer lab using a large variety of applications.

In addition to computer classes, the lab is open Monday, Wednesday & Friday from 3:15-5:00 PM for students to use for homework projects or free choice computing.

Music Class
Instructor: Mr. Holmes & Mrs. Miranda

Children naturally love music. At the earliest level we use that enthusiasm and build a repertoire of "fun kid music," focusing on listening and response to music. Gradually, students learn more sophisticated forms of music. Music is a very enjoyable and expressive component of Pinecrest's curriculum for a well-rounded student.

In addition to regular music classes during the school day, students have the opportunity to join the school bands and choral groups that practice after school and during recess.
