Academic vocabulary can be retained by using activities that give students a personal connection such as synonyms partners and roll remember rather than just expecting students to memorize definitions. 3/10 @KEDCGrants @KedcARTS @KEDC1 @DrJWEvansJr @KingWendy_m

On March the 5th we had a great session from the Smithsonian American Art Museum about inquiry based strategies for analyzing art. Enjoyed analyzing together and the fact that there are “no wrong answers”. @KEDCGrants @KedcARTS @KEDC1 @DrJWEvansJr @KingWendy_m

Snow days are for PD! Thankful for online PD provided by KEDC! Big takeaway: Don’t carve out extra time for arts integration….replace areas that aren’t working with arts integration! ❄️📚📝@KedcARTS @KEDC1 @KEDCGrants

Great session today learning about a FREE resource called Musical Explorers! What a great way to bring authentic, culturally diverse and rich music to the classroom! @KedcARTS @KEDC1 @KEDCGrants
