education instruction integrated into the school curriculum, direct student experience with the

three arts modalities onsite at the Museum, follow-up standards-based education instruction at

the school, and professional arts development workshops for the teachers. Through opportunities

for doing, looking at, thinking and talking about music, theater/performing arts, and visual arts,

the Student learning objective is that students will practice language arts and math readiness

skills and processes.

Expected student outcomes include students understanding appropriate vocabulary to describe and express opinions (Language Arts); identifying features or elements of a visual, musical, performed, and written text (Language Arts); analyzing features of an art form (Language Arts); and identifying, describing, and extending literal and implied patterns in visual arts, music, and theater/performing arts (Mathematical statistics). Through opportunities for doing, looking at, thinking and talking about music, theater/ performing arts, and visual arts with their students and in professional development, the Teacher learning objective is that teachers will lead students in integrated arts and core curriculum learning experiences in the classroom and at The Children’s Museum at La Habra that help students develop language arts and mathematics readiness skills. Expected teacher outcomes include teachers increasing their appreciation of how the arts help students learn, and integrating various art forms into languagearts and mathematics lessons.
