Resource Room | 11 Community Partners A note from our Series Title Partner – Amcor "The music, the voices, and the dramatic action of the performances presented through the Amcor Education Series, all help to animate the lessons our K-12 students are taught every day in the classroom. Amcor supports the Fox Cities Performing Arts Center's Education Series because live performance expands our understanding of textbook learning and helps us imagine the world beyond the written page. We believe every child should have the opportunity to experience the wonder of history, adventure, human drama and other cultures, coming to life right before them on stage. The Education Series performances spark a child's imagination and ignite the desire to know more." 2 • When entering the Fox Cities Performing Arts • Be prepared to arrive early – You should plan on arriving Center, remember to show respect for others to the Center 15-30 minutes before the show.

Marcus Pfister does most of his illustrations for children’s books in watercolors. He begins each book by stretching watercolor paper over a wooden board so that it will not warp when wet. He then copies his rough sketches onto the paper in pencil. At this point, he is ready to begin painting. For backgrounds and blended contours, he uses wet paint on wet paper to get a softer effect. For sharper details, he first lets the paper dry, then paints the final picture layer by layer. When the illustration is complete, he cuts the paper from the wooden board.

Were the fish in the deep ocean mean and scary, or kind and helpful? c. How should we act when we meet new people?

Children listen on a higher language level than they can read, making it all the more important to be read aloud to, exposing them to vocabulary and language patterns that are not yet part of their everyday speech. • 1 in 4 children in the United States grow up without learning how to read (Write Express Corporation) • 33% of American fourth graders read below the “basic” level on the national reading test (NAEP Report Card) • 25 million children in the U.S. today cannot read proficiently (Reading is Fundamental) • Students who don’t read proficiently by 3rd grade are four times as likely to drop out of school (Annie E. Casey Foundation) The SAG-AFTRA Foundation understands the impact reading aloud has on children of all ages and has championed children’s literacy for over 25 years through its award-winning signature children’s literacy programs. Actors are born storytellers who have the ability to bring characters to life and captivate young minds. In response to the rapidly evolving digital landscape, the Foundation launched Storyline Online®, which offers a unique opportunity for celebrated actors to use their gift of storytelling to make a far-reaching impact on children’s literacy and their lives in the U.S. and around the globe. storylineonline.net Storyline online® Partnership | PAGE 1 sponsorship opportunities | Presenting Sponsor Premier Sponsor Supporting Sponsor Single-Book Sponsor Sponsorship Benefits $250,000 (12 mo.) $125,000 (6 mo.) $62,500 (3 mo.) $35,000 Logo on StorylineOnline.net 12 mo.
