WG Gifted Dance Theater of Harlem Performance



Project Plus students from Clark, Edgar Road and Steger along with Gifted Fine Arts students from Hixson attended a  performance by the Dance Theater of Harlem at the Touhill Performing Arts Center at UMSL.  This performance was noted as the dance company’s celebrated resurgence  after a ten year hiatus.  This field trip experience was selected to extend the  Express Yourself theme. 

  

The following week of the performance, students participated in an Elements of Dance workshop facilitated  by Stacy West of MADCO dance company at Clark Elementary. 


Edgar Road Project Plus Architect Visit




Edgar Road students were visited by Assistant Professor Jessica Senne. Mrs. Senne is a professor of architecture and interior design. She shared with students information about what architects do, and things they consider when designing a building including color, form, line, and patterns.  



Students then had the opportunity to make a floor plan of their Project Plus classroom and had to be creative in their measuring and drawing to scale. They learned a lot from this experience!
