Week Ending 1/10/20

Happy Friday, Arts Fam!

  Here are some pictures of our students and examples of art and music tasks ACROSS the DISTRICT in K-5 Classrooms!

It was so enriching for me to see really solid examples of planned tasks in these rooms.  Our kids were engaged in building, drawing, watching art videos, painting, dancing, moving to the beat, drumming, drawing from observation, audiating, signing, collaborating... great work!

I have a few classes to visit to wrap up the Learning Walk for K-5 next week, and then will send the report out to you all- thank you for having me in your classrooms!

There were also several specific content vocabulary words being used by teachers and students- keep at it!  They will be talking like an artist/musician before you know it!
