Residency Programs
Secrets of the Heart
Music, Dance, Theatre Arts and Visual Arts
Grades K-2
Dream A World Education founder, Grammy
Award-Winner Bunny Hull brings a team of professional artists to your
school. Through this six-week multi-arts residency, children learn
music, dance, theatre and visual arts and discover the gifts that live
within them. They learn the values of friendship, kindness, imagination
and gratitude, as well as history, geography and social studies as they
relate to each arts workshop. The residency includes professional
development, curriculum materials, a live performance, and culminates
with a children’s presentation. Music curriculum kicks it off
when Hull creates an original class song with each class. Each class
receives a professionally recorded version of their song at the end of
the residency.
The Secrets of the Heart's curriculum guide for K-2 links the
arts experience to academic achievement and critical thinking skills in
Language Arts, Listening/Speaking, History, Social Studies and the
development of interpersonal skills. This program reveals the arts to
children as it relates to culture and tradition, gives them a little
geography and history and teaches them, through self-expression, how to
have greater respect for themselves and each other.
A professional development package is available for this residency program. See detaiils under Professional Teacher Training.

Dream A World
Music and Language Arts
Grades 2-5
This program is a 4-week residency presented by Grammy Award
Winning songwriter Bunny Hull for the 2nd-5th grade levels. These music
workshops use the creation of poetry and song to take children on a
journey of self-discovery, as they explore the importance of having a
dream and the process involved in achieving their dreams. Students
create a class poem, which is then adapted for the creation of an
original song. The process involves language skills, reading, spelling,
art and music. Children learn the power of words, choice, how to define
their goals and aspirations and create a plan to achieve their dreams.
This residency takes place one day per week with up to three classrooms
up to ninety students total, over a four-week period. Each residency
will begin with planning and scheduling.
The residency culminates with a performance of the song each class has
created for schoolmates,
family and friends. Each class receives a CD of their song.
Songs are typically used later for graduation programs.
A professional development package is available for this residency program. See detaiils under Professional Teacher Training.
 Workshops
A Drop of Peace
Music
PreK-2
This 45-minute music workshop uses song, story and an
interactive exercise to teach children why they are so important. We
talk about what is unique about each child as well as all they hold in
common. We create a song about how they each make a
difference in the world.
The Friendship Seed
Music
K-2
In this 45-minute music workshop children learn about the
ukulele and how to create a song as they discover what friendship
means. We learn music vocabulary and create a "word palette" to discuss
all the elements of friendship along with values like honesty. This
workshop employs language skills, reading, spelling and music. Children
participate in the performance of songs and ultimately Hull creates a
song on the spot from the class poem the group has created together.
What educators have said about Bunny Hull and Dream A World Education:

"Bunny Hull was
an inspiration to the Gifted and Talented Coordinators and teachers
in District K. The song she wrote for the Heroes project was
used by many of our schools and the students loved it!! Many
of our teachers used it in many of the cultural programs that
were presented following the professional development workshop
presented by Bunny.
We are inviting Bunny back to present it to parents of our gifted students!"

[About "Secrets of the Heart" Residency]
"You have the gift. The reflection which has emerged for me has to do
with the "presence" of our K students. Since "Secrets," the
children are much more confident and present in their work. I
feel like this project truly bonded them to the school and to
themselves. For me this is very real, very tangible."
