Visited Showell today to see some awesome things happening! I saw Music Notation Tic-Tac-Toe in Mrs. Wade's class, I read Dr. Suess to Mrs. Lovell's class, saw some beautiful pen-and-ink polar bear artwork on the walls, saw some landscapes inspired by Faith Ringgold's Tar Beach art, and visited Mrs. Winter's Art Expressions Group. They are studying and participating in Bilateral Drawing! What is that? It is a way of drawing with both hands to stimulate the brain in a bilateral fashion, activating both sides of the brain. This allows students to both think and feel simulaneously! Lots of learning happening through the arts! Happy Arts In Our Schools Month!#ArtsAreAliveIn Worcester
