“Working with Heather for our Arts Integration was the most engaging and meaningful project of our school year! Our project tied our narrative writing unit to learning about watercolor art. All of the students were challenged in new ways with their writing and artwork. They were all so proud to share their work with family, friends, and peers during our showcase event. The most rewarding part of the project was seeing students, who don’t always show their strengths in the typical ways we measure achievement, thrive with this project. Students who were emergent readers and writers and students with limited English proficiency were able to show their creativity and intelligence through their story and watercolor art. Although Arts Integration projects take significant time to implement, Heather is flexible and supportive to make sure it works with what is happening in your classroom. Now that I’ve done this with Heather, I feel confident that I could integrate an Arts Integration project on my own or even lead my grade level team in the project.”
