Arts Integration at School 21

Recently WP Art Triada Samaras made a virtual visit to School 21 where she and art teacher Raquel Ford co-taught an arts integration lesson inspired by hummingbirds to a third-grade bi-lingual class. This lesson combined science, literacy and art and is featured on the WP Learning Arts at Home website in the Lessons in English section. 

First students learned many facts about hummingbirds, especially with respect to their flight and the way they look. Next they were given a variety of easy to obtain art materials and they created their own bird using both their science knowledge and their active imaginations. A wide variety of innovative art works emerged.
