Background
There are 2 elementary schools in Brunswick:
-
Kate Furbish Elementary School
-
8 classes of pre-kindergarden - 15 children in each class (classes meet ½ days) (see note below)
-
10 classes of kindergarten - approx. 20 children in each class (may go up to 11 classes with approx. 19 students each)
-
7 classes of 1st grade - approx. 20 children in each class
-
4 classes of mixed 1st and 2nd (multi-age) grade - approx. 20 children in each class
-
Note: The multi age classes alternate using a 1st grade or a 2nd grade curriculum. The 2020-2021 school year will be a 2nd grade curriculum year for them.
-

9 classes of 4th grade - approx. 24 children in each class

General residencies information
-
The residencies are usually 2-4 sessions for each class, with each session being 45 minutes - 1 hour long.
-
Note regarding pre-k: We are looking for one session for each class, each being 45 minutes to 1 hour long, to occur in the spring.
-
An artist is often able to fit 3 or less often, 4 sessions into a day with a short break in between each session.
-
The classroom teacher will be present for all the sessions
-
Residencies will not start before 9 am and the last one will finish by 3 pm at the latest.
-
There will be a break in the middle of the day when the children are at lunch and recess, so often there will be 2 sessions in the morning, followed by a break of an hour or more and then one or possibly 2 sessions in the afternoon.
