Educating through the Arts!!!

A Teacher's Guide to Arts Integration.

The Solution!
Our Ideal Solution
I surveyed 40 NH Educators about what they thought of arts integration; here is what they think could help boost the use of the arts in the classroom:
~ A "cheat" sheet for leading activities and lessons. ~ A searchable list of general arts activities that could be adapted to a variety of topics.
~ General activities that can be modified to fit with MANY curriculum areas, as apposed to specific activities that cover one area or skill. ~ Lesson ideas directly related to the GLE's and curriculum benchmarks.
~ Activities with easy to find materials ... and links to the materials and resources we need. ~ Peer Sharing? Forum or Blog.
~ Step by step procedure ... and visual pictures of end product (art), music - words and audio. These are all great ideas for making the use of the arts in the classroom a little bit easier for the teacher. Many of these ideas can be applyed through this website.
