~ Arts Integration Lessons ~
As described in our school's title, we proudly integrate the arts into our daily instruction. Thanks to the wonderful Encore teachers at EKD we are able to integrate our Reading, Writing, Social Studies, Science and Math content into Music, Theater, Physical Education and Visual arts. The students in #5thGradeU are frequently given opportunities to showcase their artistic abilities and talents in the form of formative and summative assessments. We use the resources and space provided within our school to do a variety of project based learning that infuses the arts on a weekly basis. From collaging to pantomiming, students in #5thGradeU enjoy a weekly #ArtfulThinkingThursday routine.
The Arts Integration Highlight Reel!
Whether it be a Music or Theater integration with Miss Rowland, a Visual Arts experience with Mrs. Barnhart, or a lesson that involves Physical Education with Miss Weddles, the #5thGradeU photographers are always documenting the experience! The following videos have been pieced together by #5thGradeU photographer students on iMovie or Final Cut Pro to capture the co-taught lessons that integrate the arts into the Common Core Curriculum. The videos are placed in chronological order with the most recent video at the top. Enjoy!
