Teach Literacy through the Arts in DC, MD, and VA

Thank you so much for your continued support. The lifes that we get to touch daily is made possible by you. Thank you.

Story Tapestries is consistently collaborating with artist, we had the pleasure of doing so with Diane Macklin, storyteller and teaching artist, in December. Here is a snipet of her experience:

As 2015 came to a close, I was incredibly grateful to have worked at Bridges Early Learning Center in Vero Beach, FL in December. I met incredible educators, parents, and others invested in the care and education of our most precious community members – children.

We had a delightful, embedded residency where the teachers made the commitment, as well as the center’s staff, to have a series of planning meetings from start to finish of the week long experience; a Saturday professional development lead by Arianna Ross followed by planning time so the teachers could set goals and prepare for a week that would conclude with them as the lead teacher of a multi-sensory based learning activity; and, the generous gift of a willing spirit and opened doors, allowing me to work with the children as a co-teacher and their teachers as a coach. I am so impressed with what the teachers were able to accomplish in such a short time. I do not believe it would have been possible without their constant flexibility, honesty, and willingness to be creative. Here are some of the reflections by the teachers: Read them and the rest of the story HERE

It is always an honor and privilege to work with Diane. Surely you will hear more from her as we continue to collaborate on future projects and events.

Thank you so much for your support, please continue to advocate for us by sending this report to friends and family that would love to be part of this project too.
