Second graders respond to global poverty
Louise Matthews (back left, with guitar), director of Bluffton University's Lion and Lamb Peace Arts Center, and several education students in the university's Developmental Curriculum class lead Bluffton second graders in song during a workshop in Burcky Gym on April 6-Civic Engagement Day on campus.
The day capped yearlong exploration of the university's 2010-11 civic engagement theme, "Living with Enough: Responding to Global Poverty."
In the workshop, the education students incorporated literature, art, movement and music to lead poverty- and homelessness-themed activities with the second graders.
