Three weeks from tonight we have our children's summer arts show at the Carolina Theater in Allendale, SC. Come and see 3 - 4 - 5 - 6 and 7 year-olds show you what can happen when you enrich brains and hearts through the arts. (And if you're looking for something marvelous to do in the summer of 2019.....) Mid Term Evaluations took place this week at the RICH Learning Summer Arts Camp. Having a blast. Everything we learn is first taught in a song, then a dance (with ASL infused), then art. And once you have music, dance, and art - you have theater!
This is some of what we're learning in seven weeks of song, dance, art and theater - and some of the 300 data points we're imbedding in the arts, then collecting and measuring on video:
