5 Arts Program Application Narrative
School Profile
McDougle Elementary School (MES) is one of the largest Kindergarten through 5th Grade
schools in the Chapel Hill-Carrboro City School District, with 503 students. Our population is
richly diverse, with students from a wide range of ethnic and socio-economic backgrounds.
Below is the current demographic breakdown for our school:
Gender Race/National Origin
Female: 228 African-American: 72 Hispanic: 90 White: 292
Male: 275 Asian: 21 Multiracial: 27
Approximately 29 percent of MES students qualify for free or reduced lunch, which indicates
that over a quarter of our school families are dealing with issues related to poverty. In addition,
we have 44 students classified as English Language Learners (ELL). MES has four self-
contained classrooms in its Exceptional Children program: two classrooms for students with
autism (13 students) and two Life Skills classrooms for students with severe and profound
learning challenges (10 students).
Given the demographic and socio-economic composition of our school, a large percentage of
our students have very few opportunities to experience a diverse cultural arts program outside
the school context. The struggling economy, declining resources allocated to the arts, and
limited fundraising opportunities make it necessary for the MES PTA to seek outside funding to
support our Cultural Arts Program.
MES has demonstrated its strong commitment to the arts since it opened in 1996. The
Common Core and NC Essential Standards determine the school's Arts curriculum. To enhance
and complement the curriculum, the PTA presents at least four different performances each
year, as well as artist residencies. The MES PTA Cultural Arts Chair carefully selects each
performance to respond to the needs of our students. The criteria for selection include strong
multidisciplinary linkages to the school's curriculum, particularly in arts education, language arts,
science, math, social studies and positive behavior, and being representative of a variety of
cultures and art forms, such as dance, music, drama, storytelling and poetry. Our goal is to
expose students to a wide range of artistic expression throughout their elementary school years.
The two performances for which we are currently seeking funding present a unique learning
opportunity for our students during the 2014-15 school year.
School's Arts Programs
In 2014-2015, the PTA Cultural Arts Program includes the following shows:
• Orchid Ensemble (October 2014)
• North Carolina Youth Tap Ensemble (November 2014)
• Bright Star Children's Theatre presenting Aesop's Fables and Let it Shine: The American
Civil Rights Movement(February 2015)
• Hobey Ford's Golden Rod Puppets presenting Animalia (March 2015)
The PTA will also fund a poetry residency (5th grade), a pottery residency (4"' grade) and a
Music Residency for all students. The PTA will continue building partnerships with the
community at large by inviting local organizations to showcase students' work at the end of
these residencies.
Proposed Uses of Grant Funds.
We are seeking matching funds to pay artists'fees for the following performances, which will be
held on school premises in September and November, 2014.

Integrating Cultural Arts into the Curriculum
The PTA Cultural Arts program works in concert with the school's art education curriculum, as
well as with the teachers who incorporate the performances into the grade-level curriculum
specified in the NC Essential Standards and the Common Core, particularly focusing on the Arts
Education component. Both Orchid Ensemble and NCYTE provide instructional materials to
correspond with their performances, which are distributed to MES teachers. Each teacher is
responsible for integrating these materials and the performances with the curriculum in each
classroom. These linkages would most often take place on a grade-wide scale, with teachers of
the same grade using the same lesson, which would be reinforced during relevant `specials'
classes (e.g., art, music, library).

Below is an excerpt of NCYTE's detailed, 17-page study guide.
Aft
c1 as s ACtivi -Ines �►
Your students may be itching to do some rhythm activities after the
performance,and we have a number of ideas that you might consider trying.
Some are noisier than others, but we hope you'll not let that deter you.
Although these activities could be done either before or after the show,in
some cases we've indicated a recommendation.
Scat-singing
"Scat"singing can be done in a spoken tone or sung, rather than using lyrics.
A few nonsense syllables replace all the words, but in the same rhythm as the !
words would have been sung. For example, "Row,row,row your boat," might
become Shoo,Shoo,Shoo, Be Doo."
Choose a song that is known to the class. Younger grades might choose a
nursery rhyme (e.g., Mary had a Little Lamb),while middle-school or high-
schoolers might use an American folk song or patriotic song (e.g. Row Your
Boat, My Country `tis of Thee),or even a current popular song from the radio or
movies that the kids know. Have them choose a few syllables that they'll use
to scat the song,and write them on the board. Examples: Shoo, Be, Doo, ►
Wah,Bop
Ask them to "sing"the song together,replacing the syllables in the original
song with the agreed-upon scat syllables. They can use them in whatever
combination of syllables they choose, but at first should keep the same rhythm ►
as the original song. Then they can experiment with doubling up the rhythm,
or adding sounds on the off-beat.
Point out that the tap dancers are making similar rhythmic sounds with their
feet. There are a variety of sounds that can be made with the tap shoes, but
they are more limited than speech.Some steps make a sliding sound,some
I. have a hard slap,some are soft,etc.
Students could take this exercise a step further and experiment with making
different types of rhythmic sounds with their feet. !
Make your awn tap shoes
Children who are keen to take tap dancing a step further could make their
own tap shoes by gluing several pennies near the toe and heel of some old
shoes (with parents' permission and help).

Dance Brainstorm and Crosswalk �►
This is a good warm-up activity to take place before the show,if you have 10-
15 minutes to spare. it also could be divided into two parts,with the 1'
brainstorming before the show,and the crosswalk afterwards. if you do the
entire exercise before the performance,you can revisit it afterwards,to see if
the students would like to make some modifications based on what they 1►
learned at the show. 1'
Brainstorming: Ask the students to call out different types of music,and write
these in one column on the board or flipchart. They may think of current
popular distinctions (e.g.hip-hop,rap),and if so, you can suggest they also
think of"older" styles of music to get a wider range (e.g.classical,blues). j
S Ask the students to next call out different styles of dance,and write these in
another column to the right of the first one. Again, students may think initially 1,
of current dance styles, but encourage them to think more broadly. r
Crosswalk: Ask the students to match up the types of music most associated
with the types of dance, drawing lines between the two columns, as shown in 1,
the example below. You might give them an easy example first,such as 1
classical music matched with ballet. j

the students to think about things in their world that have regular and
irregular rhythms. A list below can help you get started,or keep things going ,
if they get stuck. It is interesting to think about differences in rhythmic sounds
in the city, as compared to the country,or indoor sounds compared to
S outdoor sounds.
Windshield wipers Dripping faucet Church bells
Bird calls Cars honking Hammer or saw
Clock ticking Phone ringing Oars on a rowboat
Body rhythms
The body can be used as an instrument to make many rhythmic sounds. An
activity that is silly and fun,yet also Instructive,is to let the children
�► experiment with different ways to make these sounds. Many sounds can, of
course, be made using the mouth,such as lip smacking,tongue clicking.
Different sounds can be made by clapping the body in different ways.A
hand thumped on the chest will sound different than a hand thumped
against the thigh. Using the body as a percussive instrument is sometimes
referred to as playing the"hambone" or"patting Juba."
Start with having the children repeat back a rhythm that you clap with your
+ hands,using their hands. Then ask them to repeat the same rhythm clapping '
against their leg, then their chest,to notice how the sounds of the rhythmic
pattern are the same, but the tone is different. ,
Repeat this with mouth sounds (whooshing,whistling, purring through the lips).
Instead of the teacher setting the rhythms,the children could take turns
Sclapping or vocalizing a rhythm that the class then mimics.
Finally,an "improv jam" would allow kids to improvise their own body
rhythms,one at a time, or as a group.They could repeat a set rhythm, using �1
their own "instrument," or everyone could devise their own rhythmic patterns
that fit within a dominant beat that you provide by clapping your hands.
Tap dancers have a tradition of"challenging" each other to repeat a
rhythmic pattern that one person sets. The person repeating the pattern then
tries to return the challenge by changing the pattern and making it more
difficult. If this listening exercise is working well,you might let them try a
"challenge"with either yourself or some of the students leading off.

With a bit of planning (but spur-of-the-moment inspirations work,too), 40
NCYTE's performance could serve to enrich your curriculum,particulary
music,social studies,math,and physical education.
Involving the music teacher at your school could add an extra dimension to
the performance. Tap dancing is a form of working with and creating music:, �►
and a bit of tap infusion could perhaps help make some of the paints 1►
included In the school's curriculum. if you have an opportunity to involve 1
your music or social studies teacher she/he will certainly have a number of
ideas. if you're on your own,consider thinking about: �►
r
Music,Math 1'
Rhythmic concepts: Tap is all about rhythm,and a number of basic rhythmic 1
concepts,such as syncopation and marking time,can be easily identified in
tap dancing.These concepts could be emphasized by asking students to
practice demonstrating with their feet(hand claps are great, but why not 1
consider stompsi). From a math perspective,rhythmic patterns can be used
to demonstrate principals such as division,fractions and sets.
Music,social Studies
Music types:A connection with the music curriculum as well as social studies 1
could be found in considerations of the different types of music featured in j
your school's NCYTE performance (e.g.blues,classical, bluegrass,old-time,
folk, Latin,jazz). These music traditions have historical perspectives and some
have a specific geographic identification. Can the students recognize these
types of music or the composers? Do they know the historical roots? (See 1
the Dance Details section for more information.) 1'
Physical Education
A number of physical education activities naturally include rhythm. Jumping j,
rope can be done rhythmically.Students can try bouncing a ball to different 1
rhythms,hopping,skipping,or just plain old experiment with making noise '
with their feet. Some of the body rhythm exercises on page 10 could be
good to do in the physical education class. 1
