What is the Teacher Art Retreat?
First and foremost, this retreat is for YOU. Each workshop session will be hands-on and fun! Time each day will be spent also on how these art forms can be used in your teaching. Start each day with coffee, muffins and a low-key warm-up. Each day you will have studio time to work on your Hinged Box Book. In addition, you will attend one of the three workshops. Everyone will attend all workshops! No one will miss ANY of the fun! Lunch will be provided each day as well as some special treats (door prizes too)-just for YOU! Get Inspired, Be Inspiring!

Music Workshop – Instruments Out of the Box with Elizabeth Peterson
In this workshop we will demystify instruments and explore the many uses they have in our learning. We will play in drumming circles and compose music together. Emphasis will be put on how instrument use can be used in your classrooms to create community and explore concepts. You will have lots of playing time here!
About Elizabeth:
Drama Workshop – Learning to be “Off- Book” with Judith Clark
Join Judith Clark in the playing of a few classroom friendly theatre games and learn how to incorporate theatre into your teaching with very little drama! Learn how to write and format scripts for class plays, promote public speaking and put on a classroom play from auditions to performance.
About Judith:
Ms. Clark has directed musicals at both the high school and middle school levels. In 1999 she began to develop the after school drama program at Hampton Academy, and has since produced twelve successful school plays and used the profits to invest in lighting and sound equipment and other materials to improve the theatrical experience. The Hampton Academy Players are made up of audition-based actors with a student technical crew. The philosophy is that excellence is the only option when there is an audience involved.
