An Arts in Service Project

Waterways' teaching artist, Pamela White , worked with Roslyn Kaye's class at the Frederick Douglass Literacy Center to compose a poem and create a very large book. Incorporating the arts experience into their Learn and Serve America project, the class performed the poem and presented the book to toddlers and staff of the LYFE center in the Marcy Avenue Complex.

Students perform behind the big book to...

...an appreciative audience at the LYFE center.

Students and teacher review a videotape to reflect on their performance.
