Students in Miss Wiyrick’s class kicked off a fun and creative project on Friday! After reading the story Rent Party Jazz, students designed their own album covers that captured the main idea of the story. Along the way, they also had the chance to explore records and vintage albums, learning about music and art from another time.
What a great way to blend reading, creativity, and history—these young artists did an amazing job bringing the story to life! 🎨🎵
