Integrated Arts Program for November

 Connections All Around, the UCS school wide theme, is the foundation for monthly integrated arts lessons. This week students learned how to write Native American pictographs, make a birdie, and play a pebble game. Mrs. Gallaspie sang a Native American lullaby. Giving Thanks, A Native American Good Morning Message was a book read to students that emphasizes living in harmony and peace with the natural world. School wide students wrote messages of appreciation that hang on a tree branch near the library. Stop by to read the student's messages.  I am grateful to Mrs. Cowan, Mrs. Gomez and Mrs. Gallaspie for developing specialized curriculum for whole school enrichment opportunities.
