*  Program Description  *

Lillie C. Evans Elementary School provides students a wonderful opportunity to participate in the Literacy Through the Arts program.  In this program, students in kindergarten through sixth grade will become young authors, as they emerge into literacy by participating in the Lucy Calkins Writer's Workshop.  These students will also be exposed to the literacy art of Drama.  Those students who are in grades three through six will explore the  literacy arts of Journalism and Broadcast Media.  Lillie C. Evans is also a professional development laboratory school affiliated with Florida International University. As a professional development school, Lillie C. Evans works to build and sustain a work environment that is collaborative and supports student achievement.  The Literacy Through the Arts program emphasizes a hands-on approach to learning through daily instruction and experiences in communication skills, computer networking and critical thinking activities.  In addition, through literacy based field trips, language arts and career fairs, students become aware of the career opportunities available in these areas.
