More than 150 third through fifth grade students are learning about the ocean through visual art, music, dance and technology — and also improving their skills in English — at an arts- and science-integrated summer camp at Melrose Elementary School.
Cal State Fullerton’s SchoolsFirst Federal Credit Union Center for Creativity and Critical Thinking is collaborating with Placentia-Yorba Linda Unified School District and Segerstrom Center for the Arts to present the July 13-24 camp.
CSUF teacher candidates, together with school district teachers and a dance educator from Segerstrom Center, are teaching the “Fun in the Sun and Under the Sea” program at the Placentia school.
1 and 1, elementary and bilingual education faculty members and the center’s program coordinators, developed the curriculum, presented a professional development session for the teachers, and are providing support at the camp.
