The Art Gallery
I firmly believe that the arts should be integrated into ALL areas of the curriculum!!  Can't seem to find the time? How can you NOT find the time is what I say!  Research supports a strong positive relationship
between the arts and academic success.  Besides, it sure makes teaching(& learning) a whole lot more fun. I have pictures below of some of the artwork done at summer art camp by my daughter (and a few others). Once the new school year begins, I will be adding pictures of the artwork from my own classroom.  I will also be doing a two-week discipline based arts education unit on Raggedy Ann and Andy.

If you do not integrate the arts into your curriculum, you should.  Check out the links below to help educate yourself about the arts, and help to provide arts-based education for all children!
