Can art make kids smart?
According to the Americans for the Arts Campaign, "young people who regularly participate in the arts are 4xs more likely to be recognized for academic achievement. In addition to enhancing problem-solving and critical thinking skills, arts education can also help instill a positive work ethic and a sense of pride in a job well done."
So, that's why I encouraged my daughter to try out for the "Latin Nights Talent Show" @ her school. Sure enough, she made it & the show is 2 wks away.
Boy, are we excited!! She & a group of other Kingergarteners will be dancing to Ricky Martin's "Pegate". And if u know me well enuff, u know I ADORE that guy. He makes me proud to be 100% Rican.
Other gr8t news: My mother-in-law is visiting from Puerto Rico!
We picked her up @ the airport 4 days ago & she's doing OK, thank God.
Pics coming up later ...........

Art does make kids smarter cuz. Musicians are WAY smart and generally better at math than non-musicians. I'd look into it more.
You MUST take a video and post it on Youtube. I can't even begin to imagine the amount of cuteness that those little kindergartners are going to bring dancing to that awesome song. I can't wait to see it.
Yes, you're right. I plan on taking my video camera so I can record longer as my lil' digital one doesnt rec for long periods. And, plus, she gets to dance with a boy. AY DIOS MIO :0)
Yoli, trust me I've been on top of this for the longest. I'm sure it's true!
Word Prima.
