Funded Dec 28, 2021The materials provided for our project
"Re-Awakening Yup'ik Culture Through the Visual and Performing Arts" ended up being of great support to the students at Emmonak School. Because we received the materials late and the administration was not fully on board with the intended project at first, we were able to utilize the materials to support our Speech and Language students in Elementary(k-6th) in their daily Zoom lessons as well as working with our SPED students with multi-sensory support in Reading. Students created academic songs to sing on the karaoke machine. Our students who are shy really benefited from the support of the karaoke machine and gained confidence in speaking.
When our students first saw the materials, they were very excited. They wanted to pick up and work with all of the materials simultaneously. Of course, that was not possible, however, the students were very creative with the ways they found to utilize the materials.
The next step is to utilize the materials in the way originally stated with students in middle and high school to increase focus on the Arts and the importance of the Arts in supporting academia in the classroom setting. many Thanks to our supporters!!!”
With gratitude,
