First-graders at Weisser Park Arts Magnet School will give an encore of their Common Threads performance at 9:15 a.m. The first-graders studied the African book, "We All Went On Safari: A Counting Journey Through Tanzania," by Laurie Krebs. Each fine arts teacher collaborated with one first-grade class to tell the story through a specific art form, such as music, drama, visual arts and media arts technology. Students first performed for family and friends on March 26. They are repeating the performance for their peers.
