Classrooms can get awfully boxy sometimes. Time for a Field Trip to the Telling Room! Students come to our Writing Center for the morning with their classmates and teachers to engage as working writers. At the end of the trip, each writer departs not only with his or her own creation but also with the kind of skills that bolster a student’s performance in school and across all disciplines.
There are times when it may not be possible for your class to visit us, or maybe you have a whole grade of students who you want to envelope in the writer’s world. Then, our writers and artists can come to you for a School Visit.
All Field Trip and School Visit curricula is geared toward learners of all ages and abilities, including those from ELL and special needs classrooms, or those who are speech, sight, or hearing-impaired. We are constantly astounded by children’s abilities to create stories while finding their own distinctive voices. These programs are designed to foster young writers—those who already love writing and those who come to it more reluctantly—so that all participants can benefit equally. And did we mention we have fun?
The Maine Arts Commission's Ticket To Ride program provides funding to defray the cost of travel for Maine K-12 schools wishing to visit Maine arts based venues and events as a part of a well rounded curriculum. K-12 schools in Maine are eligible to apply for up to $300. Click here to see if your school is eligible.
