The theme, "Our Backyard", helped students discover the world that exists when we stop to look, listen, feel, see, and explore the beauty of our Earth. They gained an awareness of the land and all that exists around them; being respectful, mindful, and aware of our responsibilities to help protect and preserve our environment. Students explored nature and the world just outside their backdoor, through their senses, when integrating their academics and arts. They learned about living and non-living things, plants, insects, the moon, the sun, the stars, shadows, light and many more. This virtual pod sharing will show you how Drama, Art, Music, and Dance are used to express the elements of the arts through our theme in each art form. Students were immersed in daily learning activities in class and in their art specialty, taught by their cohort teachers. We hope you enjoy this pod sharing inspired by Todd Parr's, The Earth Book.
