"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!" | Anne Mari Paizzarello, kindergarten teacher, PS 104 (Bayridge, Brooklyn) | "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." |

"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." |
