Michael Czarnecki works with Frank Pierce Early Childhood students

It is hard to believe that another year has flown by,  but Arts in Education at its best is taking place once again at Frank Pierce Early Childhood Center. Students are four sessions into their poet-in-residence program with poet, Mr. Michael Czarnecki, who has been working with all classes at FP. Each of the classes collectively produce a poem which will be put into a published poetry book. They will celebrate the poetry on March 25th with a Poetry Share.

Once the poetry sessions end they will have Mr. Joe Crookston, songwriter, in residence here to turn the poetry into song.  The pictures below were taken this year,  but  click on the links at the bottom of the post to get an idea how the whole program works.

Pajama Day!
