SHARP Literacy will provide hands-on arts integration lessons every day to explore social studies and science concepts. Students self-reflect on key concepts, use "growth mindset," collaborate with others, and develop self-confidence. Students may focus on developing basic coding skills and logical thinking through arts-integrated "unplugged" and "plugged" activities on code.org in the June session and will concentrate on neighborhoods in Milwaukee and urban agriculture in the July session.
