This Thursday night, January 10th at 6:00PM our third grade students are putting on a show! They have been practicing hard to get a chance to show you what they know! It is an opportunity to really see how our can demonstrate what they have learned through arts integration! Please come and visit and see how our 3rd graders ROCK!
THE ARTISTS ARE COMING!!!! THE ARTISTS ARE COMING!!!!
One of the most exciting learning experiences CIAA offers its students is the opportunities to learn with visiting artists. We are so blessed to have some amazing artists visiting our school throughout the next two months.
Starting today we will be seeing Mr. Chuck Parr around at our school as he utilizes his music background and teaches Cuentos lessons to our 6th, 7th, and 8th graders. He will also be visiting on January 11th, 15th, and 18th.
Misti Rae Warren, teaching from her music and drama background, will be visiting CIAA to work with our 3rd through 5th graders on February 1st, 8th, 15th, and 22nd.
Another artist with music and drama background, Virginia Ralph, will be visiting CIAA to work with our Kindergarten - 2nd graders. You be able to spot her at CIAA on February 4th, 6th, 7th, 19th, 21st, and 22nd.
Thanks to the Tipton County Education Foundation, the Student Ticket Subsidiary, and the Tennessee Value Plus Arts Commission, our CIAA students have a VERY exciting event coming up!!! On February 12th, our entire student body will have the opportunity to visit the Ruffin theater to see legendary storyteller and educational speaker, David Gonzalez. He will be speaking on both Jazz Orpheus and Cuentos at separate times throughout the day. We have listed the times that each grade will be attending and which show they will be able to experience below along with a brief description from his website (DavidGonzalez.com) about the material he presents in his show.
Our K-5th graders will be attending the morning session about Cuentos:
"Cuentos: Tales from the Latino World, paints a vivid picture of the people and rich cultures of the Spanish-speaking world with colorful tales from the Caribbean, South America, and the Bronx! From the silly antics of the Puerto Rican anti-hero "Juan Bobo" to the mysterious dealings and powers of the Orishas in a suite of Afro-Cuban stories, these tales are filled with memorable characters, fantastic plots and positive messages for children. Spanish language words are sprinkled throughout the stories and songs of "Cuentos: Tales from the Latino World" in such a way that young audiences can repeat and retain their sound and meaning."
Our 6th-8th graders will be attending the afternoon session to learn about Jazz Orpheus:
"JAZZ Orpheus is a hip-hoppin', be-boppin' musical version of the classic Greek myth, Orpheus and Euridice. I have always loved this story of courage and adventure and now have made its rich meaning come alive for today's kids."
Thank you to all of our visiting artists and all of those who have contributed to make these arts teachings available to our students!

Did you miss Aladdin????
Right before our Holiday break, many of you were able to see some of the amazingly talented students from CIAA in an outstanding performance of Aladdin. The students and staff worked unbelievably hard for months to prepare for this year's performance and all their hard work surely paid off! We wanted to share a few still photos of the performance for some who were unable to attend! Enjoy!
