The performing arts strand of the magnet program allows children to explore areas of study through dramatic creations and storytelling. A performing arts resource teacher works with children at all grade levels to enrich and extend the conceptual units. They choose their roles, select a book to convert to a script or author their own, and create their own performances related to classroom instruction. During the third grade unit on communities, students dramatically portray the characteristics of their individual neighborhoods as perceived through the five senses.
Fifth graders transform their research on Egypt into a student-authored play.
