Lafayette artists are learning about the power of the arts to transmit joy, transform sorrow, change minds, and heal hearts! In Lafayette’s art studio classroom we are not only learning about the elements, principles and media of the visual arts, but are using the arts to gain a greater understanding, depth and richness of language arts, math, science and social studies curricula. We are hoping learning in and through the arts at Lafayette nurtures lifelong learners and creators!

5th Grade Informance to Explore the Great Migration, Great Depression and Harlem Renaissance

Fifth graders have been hard at work creating drawings inspired by US historical events that occurred during the early 20th cenury. We have also learned songs, written poems and mini monologues, rehearsed dances, and created historical maps. We will be sharing them all on Thursday, April 25th with our 4th graders at an afternoon dress rehearsal and with our families at an evening performance at 6:30 PM.

 Students who are unsure of what to wear for their performance might find these photos from several years ago helpful. Think dresses, skirts, jeans, button down shirts, khakis or other dress pants, dark shoes. 

 Optional but really adds to the flavor: hats, suspenders, jacket and/or narrow ties.
