Above you will find an two examples of writing from an IAA first grader and third grader. Every year we use the arts to express issues around social justice, civil liberties and basic human rights. We've seen classes compose Social Justice Songs, conduct Civil rights Dances or create visual arts representation around basic human needs.
Students can express the change they want to see. They can facilitate what our community values and goals are. Through the arts this comes out seamlessly. We are creating myriad ways for students to consider their communities and its' needs, using the arts as a catalyst. More importantly, we are fostering leadership and confidence that gets students up in front of their community sharing their views and asking for change.
Pretty amazing stuff happening through the arts.
Artfully,
Mr. Bobby
