Take a video tour of the classroom.
Do you see your name on a drawer or clipboard? Which book in our library are you looking forward to reading? Have you ever painted at an easel before? What might you find in the Discovery table?
Clara Buckley
Preschool Art Specialist; Middle School Art
Clara Buckley’s teaching spans the ages of Mustard Seed School, from the youngest students in the preschool to students in the graduating class. She’s found many similarities between teaching three-year-olds and thirteen-year-olds!
As an art teacher who never enjoyed drawing, Ms Buckley’s hope is that each child she teaches discovers a way to create art that they enjoy, whether it be sculpture, printing, textiles, architectural drawing, or collage.
Ms. Buckley loves living in Jersey City, a place whose diversity and welcome for immigrants reflects her own family experience. When planning future travel destinations, art, food, and time with family are featured items on her list.
