3rd Annual Cobb Elementary Poetry Slam! Beautiful evening celebrating student writing & performing persona poems. Huge honor to lead this work w/ Cobb teachers & ss. This year’s GA SPEAKS theme was a favorite. Special thanks to thought partners, Lester Laminack & AI liaisons!

Had the cutest date for the 3rd Annual ES Poetry Slam! 100+ students showcased their talents—student efficacy at its finest! Thanks for hosting, Osborne High School!

So great to reconnect with Jessica Rosa Espinoza!

Amy Kirkland & I loved partnering w/ Cobb teachers, facilitating music/ movement integration PL for K-1st & 2-3rd teachers. Teachers explored figurative language, science, math concepts… BUT check out these third graders writing & performing the blues! Be still my heart! ❤️

Partnered w/ Atlanta Symphony producing “Luck of the Irish” Family Concert. We explored the whimsical world of Yeats’ Fairy Tales w/ mischievous Irish fairies, including traditional Irish jigs and reels featuring Atlanta Irish Dance, cirque performers, and my girl Olivia. 💚☘️

Love going down the rabbit hole with students and my own children as we explore our favorite stories! This is so cool!

Co-presenting this PL on music/ movement with K and 1 teachers with Amy Kirkland made for an engaging day of learning with incredible teachers!

Students are finishing up their Ed Emberley-inspired art. The fraction discussions make my teacher heart happy, and their creativity simply blows me away 😍 Jessica Rosa Espinoza @powderspringsES

Spent my birthday today surrounded by dear teachers at the STEM INNOVATION ACADEMY leading 4 workshops: exploring shadow puppetry, creating authentic STEAM journals, and even a few playful sessions of improv drama games across curriculum. Tania Pachuta Sally Creel

Excited to be launching our Artist Residency programs in 50 elementary classrooms across Cobb County this spring! Check out our Kindness Kite installation and also our ‘Art in Nature’ program where students investigate rocks and minerals used to make art. Laura LaQuaglia
