Arts Integration: Arts, Math, and Language Arts at School 9

This project is an arts integrated lesson created 

recently at Paterson School 9.

2nd grade students were studying geometric shapes in math as part of their curriculum. Using recycled styrofoam trays, students had to create an original animal using crayons and fasteners. 

Afterwards, they had to title their animal and write a story that included where the animal would live and what their environment would look like relating to both science and ELA curriculum in Paterson Public schools.

This project used recycling and also aligned with Earth Day, April 22, 2019.
