Exploring the Performing Arts
http://www.pbs.org/parents/teachersourcetips/performing.html
The performing arts are an active way for your child to express himself /herself while encouraging the development of both social and ACADEMIC skills. Dance, theater, music, dramatic reading, and puppetry are all forms of the performing arts. When your child gets up in front of an audience to perform a play, he/she is learning how to speak in front of large groups as well as learning how people interact with each other. He/She is also developing memorization and language skills that can be applied across academic subjects.
