"Art brings math to life and makes a normally abstract subject tangible. The lesson plans provide ways to differentiate or modify if necessary and CEI’s Meridian project is aligned specifically with the standards."

"I absolutely loved CEI’s Meridian project, and so did my students. My students absorbed and retained so much knowledge about the butterfly life cycle, including complex vocabulary words like 'metamorphosis.' Student engagement was at an all-time high during every lesson. They looked forward to the lessons and counted down the days until our big performance! I compiled all the pictures and videos from the project and created a video slideshow. The kids were so excited and proud to see their hard work and performance in the video, and my administrators were very proud of our students as well. I posted the video on the school's social media page and got really sweet feedback from parents."

"A mi y mis estudiantes nos ha encantado el proyecto Meridian de CEI. Tengo unos estudiantes que han dicho que les encantá pintar e incluso han desarrollado habiliadades que no tenían. Tengo un estudiante no verbal que he descubierto que tiene mucho talento y disfruta cuando pinta. El pintar lo mantiene enfocado. Tambien, yo no sabia como integrar la música en la clase de español era algo que no veía posible y hoy pude entender que se puede."
My students and I loved CEI's Meridian project. I have some students who said they love to paint and even developed skills they didn't have before. I have a non-verbal student who I discovered is very talented and enjoys painting. Painting keeps him focused. Also, I did not know how to integrate music into our Spanish class, it was something that I did not see as possible and today I was able to understand that it is possible.

"I can already see students who are interested in CEI's Meridian songwriting activity. I feel that I should be incorporating the songwriting activity in our future lessons to capture the interests of our students. Thank you for initiating this project!"
