M.U.W. Discovery Camp

The M.U.W. Discovery Camp is a wonderful week of learning, exploring new things and loads of fun and that is just what last week was as my team teacher Shannon Ingram and I worked with Kindergarten at the 2010 camp. We chose two different themes to learn about- circus and pirates. I started the week at the Ring Master and talked about the history of the circus, people in the circus, animals in the circus, and clowning. Alternating half days Shannon introduced pirates of the past and their pirate gear. We made catapults and aimed and fired marshmellows down the hall. No one had to walk the plank and the week ended with all smiles!

MAC Performing Artist Roster

On July 1, 2010 the Mississippi Arts Commission announced those accepted for the new year. I was accepted for the Performing Artist Roster. This allows groups who would like to have a storyteller present for an event the opportunity to apply for a mini-grant. The application can be downloaded from their website. For more information see www.arts.state.ms.us or call 601-359-6030.

When the new online catalog is published, please note that all the artists selected are the cream of the crop. All applicants go through a lengthy application process and must be approved by a review panel.
