The book fair is opening up at the Academy of Integrated Arts. 1st grade students are here first to pick out their books! Last year, students picked out 3 but because of the money raised during our “If you Give a Child a Book…” campaign, students get to take home 4!

AFIA teachers have been hard at work, preparing for the new school year. Last week we had Project Approach Training with Dr. Snider. Teachers engaged in collaborative planning and learning related to the implementation of authentic, meaningful projects.

At AFIA, we believe children’s questions should be central to learning and project work. We also believe it is important for students to learn about complex issues so that they are better positioned to make change. Click here to read more: afiakc.org/uncategorized/unf…
