Testimonials |
| "I
loved the incorporation of dance, music and body movement with the
storytelling. Ms. Julia
inspired us to create our own stories.
We wrote our own Anansi tale in class and acted it out for
her!" |

Mari Paizzarello, kindergarten teacher, PS 104 (Bayridge,

"The
children and I looked forward to the sessions and we all actively
participated. I especially appreciated how the different cultural tales
connected with our social studies curriculum." |

second grade
teacher, PS 17
(Long Island City, Queens) |
| "I
think this is one of the best residencies I've ever worked with! I
especially liked how Ms. Julia encourages the students to act out the
stories—using their bodies and voices was key."
Ms. Delakis, second grade
teacher, PS 17,
(Long Island City, Queens) |

"This program was great
for literacy skills. Students
gained the ability to retell stories and were able to recall characters,
settings and seemed excited to write. I will ask for Ms. Julia every year."
Ms. Papathomas , second grade
teacher, PS 17 (Long
Island City, Queens) |
| "The
program was very helpful to my curriculum because it enhanced and enriched
what I was teaching in my classroom.
This is ideal." |
First grade teacher, PS 203 (Bayside,
Queens) |
"I
saw children who have difficulty focusing and relating who were very
attentive because of (Julia's) style and energy.
They were truly awestruck. The
whole experience opened up doors to other learning. We read more West African tales now." |
