Often fine arts subjects become an after-thought amid today’s high-stakes testing environment. Fortunately, that’s not the case at our school. This morning I had the opportunity to meet with our art teacher and library media specialist to look for interdisciplinary learning ideas. I’m excited about the possibilities we covered…from promotional posters and pursuasive book trailers to developing websites, and many more ideas in between. We talked about the importance of allowing students to self-select reading material and research topics, while keeping the focus on inquiry-based learning and critical thinking skills. Keep an eye out here for news about our projects this Spring!
