World Cultures Curriculum taught through Indian and African Dance
World Cultures Curriculum taught through Indian and African Dance
 | Approximately 450 third graders from PS 123K, 274K, 376K, and 377K in Bushwick are learning their 3rd grade world cultures curriculum through hands-on arts in education workshops. With funding from The New York Community Trust, participating students are traveling to India and West Africa without ever having to leave their schools over the course of 18 weeks. They’re learning traditional dances and stories, creating replicas of the drums and masks used in traditional dance, examining the local currency, and sampling Indian and West African traditional foods. More than twenty classroom teachers are collaborating with traditional folk artists Aelushi Mistry and Vado Diomande to deepen learning for all involved! |
