Describe the way(s) this program impacts your students learning and how this arts experience correlates with your curriculum:
Students in all grades had an opportunity for at least one workshop, and students in grades 4-6 were part of a target group and performance for the end of the week. Students learned new skills and enhanced their skills in teamwork, respect, and performance.
Suggestions to artists for improvements:
Both artists were talented and engaging. There were a few times in the week where the end of the school year was catching up and energy was low and during the final show, stresses were high. Making sure that life does not get in the way and remembering that students might need some help backstage and cannot move so fast would be appreciated. With that being said, the adaptiveness between grades over the 5 days, ability to include everyone, and patience with students was fantastic!
