Class Trip to Warner Art Glass

The students and I had a magical time at our trip to Warner Art Glass in White Hall, PA yesterday, April 23rd. The professional glass blowers kept the kids very busy during their Make n' Take glass flower-making activity, as well as cool demos both inside and out. Check out our fantastic photos:

The Power of Art Education

All children, not only those with specific artistic talent, benefit from an education in the arts. The arts are, in themselves, a vital part of a comprehensive education. Current research suggests that young people who participate in the arts acquire skills that help them in decision making, problem solving, critical thinking, and teamwork. The arts also help motivate children to learn and achieve stronger results in core academic subjects. For some children, the arts even provide the impetus to stay in school and find their way to contribute to society. Creative thinking and art education challenge students to utilize the right-hemisphere of the brain more often, resulting in more holistic thinking and intuitive learning.
