Midas Creek Elementary, where Kaleb attends, is becoming known as a "Arts School" in the District. The educators at Midas Creek incorporate art into their curriculum!! Art was one of my favorite subjects in Elementary School and I remember looking forward to Art Days because I knew we would be creating something fun. It is fun as a mom now to see how excited Kaleb gets and looks forward to Art as well. Luckily, our Elementary School has been given a Grant for the Arts. For the past two years, Kaleb has had the opportunity to have a "Dance Day." Meaning that he and his classmates get to head to the gym once a week and have the opportunity to learn about dance and to participate in learning new dances. The dance that they focus on is modern dance but it is fun for the kids to use their creativity to move.
This week Karmindy and I headed to the school to see Kaleb in a 15 minute dance program, where Kaleb and his classmates got to show the parents what they had been learning over the past few months.
The first dance that they performed was a modern dance to the story of The Little Red Hen. It was very cute. There next and final dance was a Mexican Dance. Kaleb got to dance with one of the cute little girls in his class. It was really cute! It was really fun to see Kaleb perform these dances and interact with his classmates. I am really grateful for the arts programs in his school and for what he has been able to learn this past year!
