It’s been over a year since our giant puppet making with 4th graders a Blankenburg Elementary was abruptly cut short and six months since we got the puppets from the classroom closet they were left in. 

After months of planning, training, and collaborating Spiral Q’s teaching team is excited to begin deep virtual residencies with 4th, 5th, and 8th graders at Blankenburg as we work with students to learn, share, and create art around the question “what role does art and justice play in healing from this past year?” 

These puppets will finally come to life through the visions of the now 5th graders among many other projects. We’ve put lots of love and care in our take home materials packs and lesson plans and are braced for the curveballs of virtual and hybrid teaching that lay ahead. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
