Spring 2017 at the Corey Academy

Greetings Corey Family !

This spring has been a wonderful exploration further into our A+ Arts integration and Dual Language Immersion.  Our first group of dual language students are in first grade and moving along wonderfully.  They recently had a wonderful informance where they researched famous Americans and presented their presentations to lots of parents and visiting students.  Many of those students presented in both English and Spanish.  Check out these videos of some of our famous Americans.  (You can check out our Facebook and Twitter pages to see all of them)

    




 100th Day

Kindergarteners presented their 100th day of school parade and had a great time.



We were so proud of our kindergarteners who also presented their spring showcase.  One of the most wonderful hidden perks of our programming is the amount of confidence that kids acquire.  They are completely comfortable in front of audiences and it is such a joy to see them grow in their self-esteem.



DESTINATION IMAGINATION

We have taken our first steps at Destination Imagination this year.  Our Rising Stars team recently performed this year’s show and they did a fantastic job.  We look forward to our growth with this program.  A special thank you to Ms. Barton for taking the reins with our Rising Stars group.



OPEN HOUSE

Open House this year was also a great success.  We had the opportunity to showcase lots of theatre and informance presentations that happened inside classrooms.  Teachers are embracing the A+ Arts Integration framework and they are excelling.  Kids love to show their learning in unique ways.  It is so very refreshing to see kids engaged deeply in the content and process.  I am so proud of our teachers for finding creative ways for kids to show their learning.  These risks are paying off.  Keep up the great work team !




LEVITT PERFORMANCE - APRIL 25th

Stay tuned for our campus-wide performance at the Levitt Pavillion in downtown Arlington.  Corey will be taking over the Levitt on April 25th.  We hope you can join us !
