Artcore: Keeping Arts ED Supported and Thriving during the Pandemic
Arts are an essential part of a well-rounded education. Participation in the arts plays a crucial role of supporting social and emotional wellness during challenging times. These involvements, for some students, may be the connectivity and engagement most-needed during the otherwise isolated days and weeks of remote learning. While operating in the midst of the panic, schools must think creatively to provide equitable opportunties for students in the arts.

Waukegan Students are Becoming Puppetmasters
Glen Flora Elementary in conjunction with Urban Gateways of Chicago, and Puppeteer Artist, Jean Parisi are involved in a virtual Puppetry residence. Weekly students view Jean on Youtube to learn how to create simple puppets using everyday materials. Then using an app called Flipgrid, students share their work with their teachers and classmates. Once students become proficient in their craft, they will apply their newfound skills to demonstrate their learning in specific content areas.
Introducing Middle Schoolers to Opera - A Learning Moment
On Friday, November 1st, 37 6th graders from Abbott middle school attended the Lyric Opera children's production of Earth to Kenzie at College of Lake County.
Student responses to a reflection they completed upon their return to Abbott:
Now that you've attended an opera, pick another genre of performance, like play, concert, or musical. How does an opera compare to the other genre of live performance? How are the two alike? How are the two different?
They both have a conflict. They both have amazing actors. They'er different because one got singing and the other doesn't.
A play and a opera is the same because they both need a lot of people an the stage at the same time and they need to work together and the backstage crew needs to help them to because they have to change the set and help them change costuems.
They are alike because performance and a opera are both plays and they both have singing.But there different because opera is more classical singing and live performances are not that classic.
What surprised you most about the opera? Why did this surprise you?
What surprised me was that the opera people sing like that, and how they expressed themselves but as in singing.
I was surprised how they turn the building into a spaceship because they flip the side of the building to the spaceship
That they had to practice to get the right voice.
What was something you enjoyed about the opera? How would you recommend seeing an opera to your friends and family?
I enjoyed the singing and I would recommend my friend and family seeing it.
What I enjoyed is that it was entertaining and that it wasn't only singing but it was dancing and talking to, and because it wasn't boring.
the thing i enjoyed about the opera was the singing and the story.and i recommend it because its really funny and the singing is really good.
A Teaching Moment
BIG IDEA: Writers understand that narrative writing tells a story, true or fictional, and is structured with specific, interwoven elements.
Students read a Tom Watson book in class. Next they discussed storyboards and sketched a possible storyboard for the book we read as a class. Student then shared their ideas and work with Tom Watson, author and illustrator of the "Stick Dog" Books.
Big Idea: What people learn can be demonstrated in different ways
Essential Question: How can I use creative tools to demonstrate my learning?
Students will complete arts integrated learning activities and assignments and use SeeSaw as a reflection tool to tell about their learning and display their creations visually.
Essential Question - How do dancers document their choreography?
ZuZu Acrobats performed at Glen Flora School in April 2019. To prepare for their visit Glen Flora's music teacher, Dave Godbold developed a structured dance composition activity for students to complete before the acrobats' performance.
Wax Museum -Essential Question - What impact do historical figures have on our current day life?
Students will select a book from the Who Was series that interests them. They will read the book independently, and later summarize the text, highlighting key details about the person’s life in a sequential order. Students will show their research on a Google Slide presentation with a voice over using Screencastify in the point of view of their historical figure.
