Teacher, Amy Martinson set this objective for her 4th grade students at Fallis. Students will develope original compositions by manipulating sounds, making musical decisions, owning the compositional process and translating original ideas into traditional music notation.

I like to give my art students a fun relaxing activity during CSAP. One year we filled trays with shaving cream, sprayed condensed watercolor paint on top and made designs by running a piece of cardboard across the top to create different patterns. We took paper and layed it gently on top to make monoprints. The kids loved it. What do you do in art, music, dance or theater during testing?
