How do we keep the performing arts alive in this era of increased accountability and decreased funding? Rekha S.

Key features include:

Activities that can be implemented immediately and easily
Detailed lesson plans connected to the National Standards for Arts Education, National Standards for Early Childhood and Elementary Education, and Common Core Standards for Math and Language Arts

Students in grades K-5 need creative venues that encourage self-confidence, self-expression, and collaboration.

This accessible resource provides all teachers with the tools to integrate the performing arts throughout their curriculum.
