Story Tapestries just completed a two-week residency program at Pemberton Elementary School. This is the second year we have served Pemberton with artists-in-residence in language arts, history and math classrooms, performances, and professional development for teachers. Pemberton recognized the impact of our work with teachers and students last year and is committed to growing arts-integrated experiences for students and training for teachers in all subjects.
In math classes, Story Tapestries artists used drama and dance to create choreographic movements demonstrating complex mathematical operations. Students also used creative writing exercises to write their own word problems. Teachers witnessed students in their other classes showing the mathematical movement to students who did not experience the residency. They danced through long division, not only remembering the steps for themselves but also gaining the skills and confidence to teach others.
We love sharing these stories because YOU helped create them.
Story Tapestries is grateful to be part of the GlobalGiving family and the #GivingTuesday global movement. Through corporate sponsorships, dollars from supporters like you are stretched further thanks to matching campaigns today, December 3.
These programs not only unlock the potential of future artists but also foster the students’ academic achievement in school and social emotional development in all aspects of their lives. We cannot wait to return to Pemberton and see how far those long division dances have traveled. Thank you so much for being part of the movement that brings art into the classrooms and puts fun into learning math, science, and so much more!
