Teachers\, parents\ , and group leaders work closely with Museum instructors to design customi zed visits that fit the interests and needs of their group. Tours are spec ifically designed around the images\, stories\, and themes found in books. Each visit lasts an hour and a half and combines a gallery tour with an a rt-making activity.\n\n\n\n\nI have set up three programs for different ag es/levels. There is some flexibility here\, so if you feel your child woul d benefit from a different age level/program/interest\, please feel free t o use your own discretion when registering.\n\n\n\n\nThere is a limit on C haperones for this program. For now\, I have put 4 chaperones with 10 stud ents. If we go over 10 students in each category\, I will open up more spa ces for both.\n\n\n\n\nGrades K-3: Bill and Pete Go Down the Nile by Tomie dePaola (Ancient Egypt)\n\nBook Description:It's a new school year\, and Bill and Pete are back in a new adventure. Their teacher\, Ms. Ibis\, is t aking all the little crocodiles (and their toothbrushes) on a class trip t o the Royal Museum. But who's that trying to steal the Sacred Eye of Isis? Can it be the Bad Guy? Can Bill and Pete save the day once more?\n\n\n\n\ nProgram Description: The Art and Mysteries of Ancient Egypt: Unlock the m ysteries of ancient Egypt and hear about daily life in this amazing civili zation. Meet our mummies and learn why and how Egyptians prepared for the afterlife.Art Activity (One of the following TBA) Clay\, mummy masks\, or pendants\n\nMinimum 10 students\n\nCost $10/student\, Chaperones free\n\n\ n\n\nGrades 4-7: D'Aulaires' Book of Greek Myths by Ingri &\; Edgar Par in d'Aulaire (Ancient Greece)\n\nBook Description: No education is complet e without a large slice of Greek mythology. And there's no better way of m eeting that literary quota than with the D'Aulaires' book. All the great g ods and goddesses of ancient Greece are depicted in this big\, beautiful c lassic\, lovingly illustrated and skillfully told. Young readers will be d azzled by mighty Zeus\, lord of the universe\; stirred by elegant Athena\, goddess of wisdom\; intimidated by powerful Hera\, queen of Olympus\; and chilled by moody Poseidon\, ruler of the sea. These often impetuous immor tals flounce and frolic\, get indiscreet\, and get even. From petty squabb les to heroic deeds\, their actions cover the range of godly--and mortal-- personalities.\n\n\n\n\nProgram Description:This book includes popular myt hs surrounding the pantheon of Greek gods and goddesses. At the Museum chi ldren can see mythology depicted in ancient Greek and Roman vases\, statue s\, and other works of art.Art Activity (One of the following TBA) Clay\, masks\, pendants\, or puppets\n\nMinimum 10 students\n\nCost $10/student\, Chaperones free\n\nGrades 8+: Monkey: Folk Novel of China (aka Journey to the West) (Ancient China)\n\nBook Description: Probably the most popular book in the history of the Far East\, this classic sixteenth century novel is a combination of picaresque novel and folk epic that mixes satire\, al legory\, and history into a rollicking adventure. It is the story of the r oguish Monkey and his encounters with major and minor spirits\, gods\, dem igods\, demons\, ogres\, monsters\, and fairies. This translation\, by the distinguished scholar Arthur Waley\, is the first accurate English versio n\; it makes available to the Western reader a faithful reproduction of th e spirit and meaning of the original.\n\n\nProgram Description: Walk throu gh a Chinese house and a Buddhist Temple Room\, learn about impressive god s and goddesses\, and take a closer look at scroll paintings.Art Activity (One of the following TBA) Clay\, pendants\, or Sumi-e painting ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://test.arabamerica.com/wp-content/uploads/ 2015/01/events4588.jpg CATEGORIES:Children LOCATION:Museam of Fine Arts\, Boston\, 465 Huntington Ave\, Boston\, MA\, 02115\, United States GEO:42.339151;-71.09385309999999 X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=465 Huntington Ave\, Boston \, MA\, 02115\, United States;X-APPLE-RADIUS=100;X-TITLE=Museam of Fine Ar ts\, Boston:geo:42.339151,-71.09385309999999 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VTIMEZONE TZID:America/Detroit X-LIC-LOCATION:America/Detroit BEGIN:DAYLIGHT DTSTART:20150308T030000 TZOFFSETFROM:-0500 TZOFFSETTO:-0400 TZNAME:EDT END:DAYLIGHT END:VTIMEZONE END:VCALENDAR
