A team of Kearny DMD seniors have been working with Guitars in the Classroom (GITC) as part of their senior internship. Pictured left is the students with Executive Director Jessica Baron. The mission of this non-profit organization is to train, inspire and equip educators to provide vibrant daily learning that educates the whole child and promotes academic achievement through the power of cross-curricular, hands-on music. On October 10, the team visited GITC flagship school, Paradise Hills Elementary, where they had the opportunity to interview the school’s principal, Ms. Marin, and film two GITC teachers in action -- Ms. Steele (kindergarten) and Ms. Solorio (1st/2nd). Ms. Steele’s class focused on phonics and literacy with a lively, interactive alphabet song, while Ms. Solorio’s class sang about rows and columns for a musical math lesson.
