Jaymie Green, art teacher at Tuscan, presented at a conference at Teachers College, Columbia University, entitled: Remixing Art Education in April. Her presentation was on implementing Green Screen in the Contemporary Art Studio Classroom and implications of digital technology in the art room today. In addition she presented at Fordham University's Graduate School of Education Research Celebration where she presented on her preliminary findings as part of a group research team of analyzing data from a western New Jersey school implementing iPad digital technology in the art studio classroom. Her poster was entitled: A Look at Teacher Efficacy, Student Engagement, and Learning with the Use of iPads in the Art Studio Classroom.

Ms. Green was also accepted to the 2014 Teacher Institute on Impressionism and Post-Impressionism at The National Gallery of Art in DC. She was offered the
Annetta J.and Robert M. Coffelt Sr. and Robert M. Coffelt Jr. Fellowship of $2,000 to support her attendance at the 2014 Teacher Institute. Ms. Green also received the elementary art educator scholarship to take a workshop at Peters Valley this summer."

This year’s Music In Our Schools Month was a great success. Thank You to all the parents who came and shared their musical talents with the classes. The students really enjoyed all of the live performances and look forward to more in the future.

We finished the month with a very special performance from Zach Hatcher, an up and coming Harpist who performed for the 4th and 5th grade students. The students were astonished to hear that he practices 6-8 hours A DAY !

We also received some great news about our district music program:   South Orange/Maplewood School District Recognized Nationally for Schools’ Music Education Efforts  As One of the Best Communities for Music Education, more about this distrinction can be found on the district site here.
