This
fall, I was able to work closely with students and teachers in the seventh
grade. In math, the students got moving using rhythm, repetition, and the
order of operations. In science, while studying the waxing and waning phases
of the moon, students created beautiful watercolor wax resist models. When
students use the arts in their core subjects, they are more interested in
what they are learning, they stay more engaged, and the things they learn
don't evaporate from their short-term memory. Students have created a "Mythology
Poster Book" in Language Arts and these are hanging in the halls.
