We are looking for 3rd-5th graders to join our pirates group in our virtual learning support program here at the portside.
Portside Arts Center's Creative Classroom program is open to students attending local schools in the Philadelphia School District. Students will be separated into groups by grade. Among these groups, students will be separated into smaller groups by school and teachers, to create a unified classroom environment where peers will be able to work together. Each classroom will have a lead teacher and at least one assistant teacher, who will assist students with their school work.
We will be following the Sample Student Remote Schedules posted on the schools' websites. Portside will implement art projects and activities for children who have completed their assigned schoolwork during asynchronous work time.
Children will have the opportunity to socialize and play with friends during structured free time, while being encouraged to maintain a safe distance from one another. Children will bring their own favorite toys to play with, to help with social distancing and the spreading of germs. Additional toys will be provided and will be cleaned between uses for all students to enjoy. Weather permitting, the children will have daily outdoor time at Penn Treaty Park (by bus transportation) or the Cione Field.
After play time, we will be providing daily arts education for our students between 4:00 and 5:00pm. We think that being creative on a regular basis will prove to be especially beneficial to our children during this time! We also plan on incorporating Arts Integration with the children to assist learning even further when possible.
