Expressive Arts


I find it interesting that children that are engaged in Arts in the classroom, have higher test scores than children that are not engaged in that type of a classroom. If that is the case, then why aren't all teachers incorporating Arts in their curriculum? Children have the opportunity to express their feelings through music, skits, puppetry, painting, drawing. Engaging in activity where there is bodily movement, allows children to engage also in social relationships, as well as work together in groups.
