Arts Night at the Mabel Tainter Theater

     The excitement for Arts Night at the Mabel Tainter Theater was evident by the sound of eager children echoing throughout the lower level. The Oaklawn 3rd graders were ready to perform what they had learned from integrating theatrical arts throughout our social studies curriculum. We also infused theater activities in reading, writing and speaking lessons. It was great to have the opportunity to perform on the Mabel Tainter Theater stage, as most of our 3rd graders have never even been in the theater. AIM has given us so many new ideas to incorporate into our teaching. It enables us to reach students who benefit from using multiple teaching techniques. The students and their families enjoyed a wonderful evening together.
