Have fun writing with friends and publishing your very own graphic novel! Writers will have a chance to explore how authors of graphic novels craft these texts, invent their own characters, and create adventures for them. They will be encouraged to write in ways that celebrate their identities, sharing parts of themselves with the world, and they will also discover the power the written word can have in the world. 

Instructor: Just Right Reader uniquely provides an end-to-end solution for accelerating reading and writing, with personalized instruction no other organizations offer. Our holistic program grows with students as they develop literacy skills, and allows students to develop deep connections with their individual teachers and as a result develop a deep connection with reading. We disrupt the education space by taking the mystery out of teaching your child how to read and write.

Our theatrical adaptation of The Stinky Cheese Man an award-winning, Caldecott Honor book written by Jon Scieszka, will be a collection of twisted, humorous parodies of famous children’s stories and fairy tales such as Little Red Riding Hood, The Ugly Duckling, and The Gingerbread Man. In this exciting ‘devised word for word’ production, the student actors will work as an ensemble and bring the fairy tales to life using theatrical disciplines such as creative movement, vocal chorus, rap, dance, and will play multiple characters, as well as the scenery!

Instructor: Miss Lily draws inspiration from emergent pedagogy, Waldorf, Maria Montessori, and mindfulness education practices. She is a University-trained arts educator, practicing for over 16 years locally and internationally. Myers has toured as a clown with the social circus, Performers Without Borders (UK), to Kenya and India, and built and toured larger-than-life puppets with Hand Spring Puppet Theater Company (South Africa) to venues such as the Hollywood Bowl, playing for 10,000 people.
