Whole Body Math & Curriculum-linked creative movement residencies
Whole Body Math(prek -2nd grade) is an innovative math program that explores numbers and math through the physical body. We first explore new pathways and connections of movement through changing levels, tempo and some silly body parts as leaders. Students will be encouraged to move dynamically and creatively while crossing the mid-line & challenging their balance all while doing math!. Grades preK-2 will play moving math games to solidify numerical concepts. Book connections: Giraffes Can't Dance, From head to Toe Heidi recently created a residency with the Women's league in Harford centered around ramps and building (and moving) creatively with large foam blocks! Book Connections: Mama Zooms, Roll Slope and Slide Heidi can build a movement linked residency for your topic- inquire about what is possible! |
Matica arts presented an entertaining/instructional program, at the Hartford Public Library this fall. We look forward to a total of four interactive, muti-media presentations of Matica's Instruments of the World at at least two library sites this coming July. They will take audiences on a musical journey around the globe and through time, using instruments and visual arts from Tibet, China, Brazil, Europe, Mexico, Australia and Africa.
We are very pleased with the quality and thoughtfulness of their work.
