Our district started using ARC last year and I was very disappointed to see that there are hardly any books related to Art, Music, Dance, Theater or Poetry; yet there are loads of books related to sports!!! The ARC collection needs to be updated to reflect the relevance of the Arts and to show that it truly values, embraces, and supports students and teachers who are passionate about the Arts. Students tend to read about what interests them, and not all students are interested in sports, yet there is an entire thematic unit dedicated to sports. How about dedicating an entire thematic unit to the Arts? Thank you in advance for your support! Sincerely, Maria Fontes Art Teacher maria.[protected]@ppsd.org Young Woods Elementary School Providence, Rhode Island
