I L----------------------~ j MAY, 1993 REMINDER: No Docent Meeting this month Museum Month at Granger Elementary School May will be "Utah Museum of Fine Arts Month" for 755 students at Granger Elementary School in the Granite School District. Vicky Mattingly, fourth grade teacher at Granger Elementary, participated in the SLC Schools-Utah Museum of Fine Arts PARTNERS Program while she was a student- teacher in the Salt Lake City School District. Ms Mattingly felt that a similar program would be an excellent learning experience for the students at Granger Elementary and requested assistance from Educational Services of the Museum. Ms Mattingly says the Museum experience is just one of the enrichments Granger Elementary is providing for their multicultural, low socio- economic student body through a special Diversified Curriculum Grant awarded to the school by the Granger School District. With this grant entitled "Gateways to Knowledge" the school is providing a taste of the arts, drama, and music of many cultures as well as special environmental and science projects. Teachers are provided with lesson plans in connection with each of the scheduled artists in residence, guest speakers and specialists. This grant will provide 12 buses to bring the students to the Museum for tours May 11, 12, 19, 20, 21 and 25th. Because Granger Elementary is a year-round school these tours will be given during a usually quiet, unscheduled period in the Museum. To prepare Granger Elementary students for their visit, Museum in the Classroom docents will visit 29 Granger Elementary classrooms in early May. They will show students from kindergarten through grade six how artists use the elements of art in their art works. Museum in the Classroom docents have made 171 presentations in Salt Lake Valley schools this school year as well as giving weekly tours in the Museum. The Museum in the Classroom docents are Elaine Call, Elizabeth Drinkaus, Marjorie Powis, June Orme, Billie Rich, Sue Rothwell, Madalyn Seaman, Martha Stewart, Cherry Wong, and Kathie Zumbro. |
