Arts integration allows students to either demonstrate their knowledge of a topic through a creative process. Or, allows students to learn new information through a creative process. EM3 is the only school in WCPSS with a dedicated arts integration instructional space and a full time arts integration specialist. Our arts integration specialist collaborates with teachers from all content areas and departments to integrate the Arts into the core curriculum as well as provide schoolwide arts integrated lessons. Such lessons might include using the Art of Suminagashi in Social Studies to create a map that represents the different populations of an area. Another lesson might include, creating a Claymation/Stop Motion Video to convey a topic message students are studying.

Students collaborate on multiple school-wide lessons to bring positive messages to our school community.

Through the Arts we will build community and strengthen our knowledge of the core subjects. To see samples of arts integrated experiences at EM3 please glance at the presentation below.
