Have students compose songs, draw, or paint about what they're learning. Let them create impromptu dance routines or write poems at home. The arts, new studies confirm, are indispensable to life-long learning. A recent piece I did for @edutopia.
Sometimes we feel we can’t do much by ourselves, but humanity is made up of individuals; we can make a difference. As individuals we can influence our own families. Our families can shape our communities and our communities form our nations. Together we can make a better world.
From our LR art teacher: "I sent my two-dimensional art students home with a project on facing their fears. This is one work in progress that I thought was worth sharing." Wow! #ocsuvt#vted
If we learn nothing else from this pandemic, it should be just how much society counts on schools to provide necessities that are not educational in nature. Love our teachers, support staff, and school leaders taking care of OUR kids.
MAUSD's Expanded Learning Program is looking for dynamic leaders, teachers and support staff to join our school-year program. We are an innovative after-school program that believes in the health of our kids, families and staff!
