Artistic Development
ORFF Training
We spent five full days in ORFF Training - wonderful music and movement training, learning how to bring the arts into our classroom in a fun and engaging way. There were many dance, theater, and musical instrument demonstrations that we took back to our classrooms and found ways to incorporate them into our every day lessons.
MonArt Training
