Third graders at Rowe Elementary School recently participated in a Side x Side program that integrated a Wabanaki studies unit on salmon with sculpture and performance. With teaching artist Cat LaBarre, students created salmon sculptures using papier-mâché and paint to realistically depict their fish. They attached wooden dowels to the salmon to turn them into puppets. Students then worked with teaching artist and professional storyteller Antonio Rocha on voice and movement exercises to create a performance with their salmon puppets. Families and students enjoyed the salmon performance during a celebration of learning at the school.
