Residencies

Residencies are workshops with multiple visits to the same classroom over several days. Generally, our residencies

start at 3-5 days and can be

extended for much longer as

needed. Residencies begin with

a planning meeting between

classroom teacher / site

coordinator and teaching artist to

set the goals and expectations

of the residency and often close

with a refl ection meeting to

discuss the outcomes of the

residency.

Prices listed are for one

classroom unless otherwise

noted.

Multiple visits with a bookmaker will provide opportunities for students to build books complete with illustrations, creative cover designs and text. Subjects will be geared towards science and literature.

Welcome to Learning

This kindergarten and fi rst grade residency is meant to encourage learning in literacy as well as in an art form. Through works of children’s literature, vocabulary lessons and word walls, as well as hands-on experience with an art form, students use fi ne and gross motor skills as they discover that learning is fun. Five visits with the artist are 90 minutes long, giving time for large and small group activities. In a suggested culminating event, students present what they have learned to another class, or a gathering of their parents. A planning meeting with the artist is recommended.

Collaboration of the Generations

This program brings together children and elders through the natural medium of storytelling. Both groups work with a storyteller, then gather to have the elders tell their stories to the children. Children then work with the storyteller to practice retelling the elders stories. In a suggested culminating event, students tell the elders stories back to the audience. A planning meeting with a YA program director is recommended to begin the program.

Notes to Notes

In this residency students explore the driving question, “what do poets and jazz musicians have in common?” Through a live jazz performance, fi ve classroom visits with a writer, and a visit with the musician, students will learn that improvisation, phrasing, and tone are just a few of the similarities. This experience encourages a familiarity with jazz music as well as encourages students with writing prompts for poetry. In a suggested culminating event, students read their poetry aloud to another class, or a gathering of their parents. A planning meeting with the artists is recommended.

Residency InitiativesThe residencies listed below were developed in collaboration with YA program staff and have multiple

choices for customizing. Prices vary, call for details.
