Hello Metropolitan Arts Academy,

Staff and students have been working together to implement arts-integrated project-based learning. Each team is implementing a specific project that will serve as evidence for many learning targets. Our team has been working hard this year to design and implement more project based learning. Each team will be implementing a large project where students all get the chance to learn and apply skills of building a high-quality project that is competency driven and includes arts integration. 

Our students have been able to take advantage of some wonderful opportunities, we were able to take some of our intermediate students to see an opera at the Elle Calkins Opera House. Our Primary students visited the Denver Center for Performing Arts to watch a production of "Good Night Moon". We celebrated our local community veterans at a school-wide celebration last month. We had our very first arts showcase featuring dance, instrumental and vocal music and art from some of our amazing intermediate learners. We had a great turn out and want to thank everyone for coming out to celebrate the hard work of the students. 

The best way to keep up with what is happening at our school is to like and follow us on our school Facebook. Just visit www.facebook.com/MetropolitanArtsAcademy   

Sincerely,

Claudette Trujillo
