Artists in Residence
Pia Hong-Seeger, a local Korean Artist, has been working with students at CRES for the past two months. This work is part of a special grant in collaboration with Northwest Folk Life, funded through a King County Cultural Arts Grant, which paid for the artist's salary to be in all 4th grade classrooms for 8 learning sessions, across TSD. All CRES 4th grade students performed traditional Korean dance and drumming in a culminating celebration of learning. Ruth Sullivan, Lead Teacher with the project at CRES involved all seven 4th grade classes in a colorful, moving demonstration of the Korean culture in action. Fourth Grade students have been studying about Asia during the past two and a half months as a regular part of their World Community Integrated Studies.
