The Parent Teacher Resource Center (PTRC)
is a fully stocked and supplied art workshop
located in the loft area of Fishing Cove
School.
Some of the supplies available include
colored construction paper, fadeless art paper,
cover stock, bright copy paper, posterboard,
oaktag, markers, pencils, rubber, cement, and
special equipment including laminators,
eyeleters, a binding machine, copy machine, paper
cutters, and die cut machines with hundreds of
shapes and patterns.
The PTRC has on display
hundreds of visual aides that teachers can request
for use in their classrooms in all curriculum
areas—math, social studies, science, language
arts, and writing, as well as storybook characters.
All of the visual aides are available for purchase.
North Kingstown teachers can order any pattern at
no cost to them--they will be made by school
volunteers and funded by their school PTO.
Many teachers will develop an idea for a visual
aid and will send in information to be on the
project and a rough drawing of what it should
look like. The projects can be completed by
you or by your own volunteers. Our facility
and materials are also available to local
preschool staff, church groups, Boy and
Girl Scout leaders and other groups at a
nominal cost.
