The Visual Arts are therefore, essential to education both as independent disciplines and as an integral part of all learning in all areas of the curriculum. The Arts enable students to develop higher order thinking skills, creative problem-solving, self-discipline,and the ability to collaborate with others. Arts education heightens students’ awareness of the aesthetic experiences therefore enriching all aspects of life.
It was book fair week at SES! Students loved shopping for new books to add to their home libraries. Our kindergarten and first-grade students had an extra special time shopping with their older-grade buddies, who helped them add up the costs of their books and trinkets. These older-grade buddies had excellent recommendations for books that they knew their younger buddies would love!
Grade 3 students are studying forces and motion. Check out the roller coasters they made!
