WILLIAM JENNINGS BRYAN ELEMENTARY MUSEUMS MAGNET
SCHOOL EXHIBITION NIGHT

MIAMI - W. J. Bryan Elementary Museums Magnet School will showcase the work created by students in Pre-K to 5th grade. Student “docents” will be on hand to discuss multimedia projects they created as a result of learning expeditions to local museums. Exhibition Night is January 13, 2010, from 5:30 – 7:30 p.m., at W. J. Bryan Elementary, 1201 N.E. 125 Street, North Miami. Last year, approximately 400 parents and friends attended this event.

Museums Magnet Schools forge strong partnerships with local area museums and cultural institutions in Miami-Dade County.  Museum educators work side by side with classroom teachers, interfacing the standards-driven curriculum with the objects and artifacts in their respective museums as well as visiting historic buildings and sites throughout the county.  This integrated curriculum, focusing primarily on object- and project-based learning, emphasizes problem-solving, communication, exploration, invention, and inquiry through on-going visits to museums and cultural institutions. 

W. J. Bryan Elementary School’smuseum partners are Fairchild Tropical Botanic Garden, Haitian Heritage Museum, Historical Museum of Southern Florida, and Museum of Contemporary Art (MOCA).
