Welcome!

Hi!

I'm Scott Savage, a BYU Student studying Theater Education and Chinese Dual Immersion. This year I've been given the exciting opportunity to work with the talented Lindsey Pettibone and her 5th Grade Class at Fox Hollow Elementary School. I work with the BYU Arts Bridge Program which is focused on integrating the fine arts (Music, Dance, Theater and Visual Arts) into core curriculum in an Elementary Classroom. I will be updating the exciting plans that Miss Pettibone and I create for integrating my main art (Theater) with the things her students want and need. In the months of November and December we will be using theatre to explore the events leading to the colonization of the Americas.. There will be photos and videos of selections from the students work posted, and updates about the process from our end as well. I hope that this blog will serve as a platform that parents, fellow teachers, and our communities can use to understand how valuable arts integrated teaching can be to the lives of students. Children are the leaders of tomorrow, and they will need to fuse creativity and practicality in their endeavors.

As always, comments, questions and anything else you want to say is welcomed below.

Thank you for reading!
谢谢!
