The Milwaukee Symphony Orchestra (MSO)\u2019s Arts in Community Education (ACE) Program brings MSO musicians, fellow artists, lesson plans, and learning materials to Ninety-Fifth Street School. Kindergarteners through fifth graders participate in ACE programming, and they attend an MSO concert just for them at the Bradley Symphony Center.<\/p>\n
We offer lessons during the school day for the following instruments:<\/p>\n
Danceworks Mad Hot Rhythm inspires our students to move their bodies and work together to create performing art. Participation in Mad Hot Rhythm boosts self-confidence and creativity, promotes respect, and teaches children that creative movement feels great!<\/p>\n
At 95th Street School, our fourth and fifth graders can participate in KidsWrites, Skylight Music Theatre\u2019s creative writing program. The program engages more than 1,500 elementary and middle schoolers across the district each year. Students are invited to write original stories and songs inspired by an annual theme. Skylight\u2019s team of professional composers, directors, and performers then brings these imaginative creations to life in a vibrant theatrical revue\u2014written by kids, for kids.<\/p>\n
Learning Journeys<\/a> are educational field trips for all MPS students that are designed to take what students are learning in the classroom out into the real world. These annual opportunities aim to expand students\u2019 career awareness (K4\u2013grade 3) and help them explore potential careers (grades 4 and 5).<\/p>\n Students visit the Urban Ecology Center (UEC) for field experiences. Through UEC\u2019s Neighborhood Environmental Education Project (NEEP), classes visit local green spaces to learn from UEC educators through hands-on activities. Students may explore local habitats, identify plants, find signs of animal life, or even build forts with classmates! Every trip has a portion outdoors and is engaging for all students and chaperones. All three centers have outerwear available to borrow for all participants to explore in any weather.<\/p>\n To promote positive student behavior and improve learning, MPS uses a system of Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports (PBIS)<\/a>.<\/p>\n PBIS is a three-tiered approach that begins by teaching expectations and encouraging collaboration and consistency in classrooms. Teachers and students co-design agreements and routines that align with three districtwide expectations: \u201cBe Safe, Be Respectful, and Be Responsible.\u201d<\/strong> For students who need more support, higher tiers offer structure, interventions, and follow-up to address specific concerns.<\/p>\n After years of use, MPS and other districts across the country are reporting higher student achievement, improved school environments, and fewer classroom disruptions and student suspensions.<\/p>\n UNSIL is a revolutionary curriculum program that combines Model United Nations and World Studies at select MPS elementary and middle schools. Fourth- and fifth-grade students develop research, writing, and presentation skills while studying world affairs and current events. In addition to learning about other countries, cultures, and international relationships, students gain experience in debate, negotiation, and conflict resolution\u2014all of which are transferable to college and career.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" At 95th Street School, our diverse programs support the whole child.

Girl Scouting helps girls develop their full individual potential; relate to others with increasing understanding, skill, and respect; develop values to guide their actions and provide the foundation for sound decision-making; and contribute to the improvement of society through their abilities, leadership skills, and cooperation with others.\u00a0Our troop is part of the\u00a0Girl Scouts of Wisconsin \u2013 Southeast.\r\n

Over three consecutive years, students visit nine times, contextualizing art into their life. After a culminating project presented to their peers and family, they become official Junior Docents!\r\n

Data shows that schools that implement PBIS with fidelity see decreases in disruptions and suspensions and increases in student achievement.\r\n
