My Project

The Environmental Show musical theater play props will be used with my students often throughout the school year and year after year! The new musical theater production will provide my students with the opportunity to research environmental conservation topics being taught in class, through music and dramatic arts. Reading skills will be reinforced through script reading and practice. Children of all learning modalities will be engaged and challenged. They will also investigate the same topics through inquiry-based collaborative projects in which they will synthesize, evaluate and question the topics, and make judgments about what should be included in the songs. The collaborative creation of hand motions to go along with songs help children develop creative and critical thinking skills.

Today, having opportunities to express oneself creatively is imperative to developing into a well-rounded, innovative and confident human beings.

For today's students, art education is not a luxury, but rather, it is a necessity! As a teacher, my goal is to teach the whole child, and this performing arts project helps me reach that goal.

The inclusion of musical theater in the classroom allows me to truly teach the whole child! By focusing on environmental conservation topics through infectious musical theater songs, the content is successfully retained. Plus, children learn to collaborate, take risks, assert themselves, freely share their innovative ideas, and express themselves creatively so that they can make a positive difference in their school, community and the world!
