Celebrate SPRING with the Lesley New Teacher Community

Spring will come...YES!  We absolutely know it!

 

 

To celebrate the first day of Spring we have rescheduled our snowed-out January workshop, "MAKING CONTENT CONNECTIONS THROUGH ARTS INTEGRATION" and have moved it to  

March 21, 2015 from 10:00-2:00.   

 

 While the weather may have ruined our first date, it has allowed us to re-think the event and make it even better for you. 

Kate Austin, a long-time favorite Lesley professor will be leading this workshop and it truly will be a day of color, drama and movement.  You'll leave energized with ideas you can put to use in your classrooms the very next week.  We promise transformation (and we're not just talking winter to spring!).

PRESENTING An Interactive Workshop YOU Won't Want to Miss

"Practicing an art, no matter how well or badly, is a way to make your soul grow, for heaven's sake. Sing in the shower. Dance to the radio. Tell stories. Write a poem to a friend, even a lousy poem. Do it as well as you possible can. You will get an enormous reward. You will have created something.” ― Kurt Vonnegut

 

The Lesley New Teacher Community invites you to a lovely IT'S FINALLY SPRING Breakfast AND Luncheon on Saturday, March 21 2015.
