The Joy of Dancing with Evo
Evo plays the auto harp
Evo Bluestein came to our school and taught his folk dance and music units to kinder through sixth grade. It was a wonderful learning experience where the boys and girls learned to be young ladies and young gentleman. While dancing and singing they learned about different cultures, and time periods.Nothing makes learning more fun than integrating the arts!
Here are a few things my students had to say:
Chey, "I now have something to look forward to every day."
Sam, "Just look at my friends Mrs. Schellenberg, they are so happy!"
Sam said this as he was watching them dance.
We were blessed to have Evo come. Hiis dance residency was paid for by an "Artist in Residence," grant, from the Visual and Performing Arts Department of Fresno County Office of Education.
As conclusion to the dance residency children were invited to the Friday Night Barn Dance, Where families came and danced together. It was a wonderful community building experience! Thank you Evo and Fresno County Office of Education
Fifth Graders showed off their New England Country Dancing, in Colonial dress!
Experiencing Life in the Colorines
Fifth graders created their own American Colonial costumes and came to tea before the dance.
Thank you Mrs. Penner for helping up with costumes.
Imagine you lived in Colonial times.......
We have had 20,000 visitors as of 1/1/2020
