Marisa can adjust her program to any grade level, from Pre-K to the senior community. The ancient cultures programs are especially suited for 6th social studies to complement the curriculum. Often, schools participate in the Ancient Egyptian program in the early part of the year, followed by the The Art of Ancient Rome program during the Ancient Greece and Rome unit that is often taught later in the school year. If the timing does not correspond, the programs still work seamlessly within your classroom.

Marisa sets up her museum in one of your classrooms and runs the program during a normal class period. She then repeats the program throughout the school day as students from additional sections of the class cycle in and out for each period. Marisa can adjust the program to fit your school’s specific periods. She’ll work with you on logistics as needed—combining classes, creating an assembly, etc.

Yes, MWM programming covers Common Core NYS Arts Standards 3 & 4.
