Tails and Tales

_______________________________________________________________________________________
Tails and Tales is just that, a program with tales (stories) and tails (dogs). Aaron is the author of the children’s book series, The Adventures of Bella and Choco, and the handler of the actual classroom therapy dogs Bella and Choco. This program weaves stories, songs and information about dogs and dog training into a fun and engaging experience for students. As part of the program, Aaron reads the first book in the series, Being YOU-neek, a story about being who you were meant to be and not trying to be like others, and gets students to identify characters, settings, problems and resolution of the story. Books can be purchased at a 20% bulk discount by the school.

Artist

Aaron Fowler

Aaron Fowler draws from 12 years as a public school teacher working at both the elementary and middle school level and more than two decades as a songwriter and educational consultant. Aaron is one of sixteen Nationally Credentialed Teaching Artists  with Young Audiences.

Aaron also performs for Arts Partners in the duo “Adventures in Story and Song” and is a Kansas Wolf Trap and Baby Artsplay artist.

Thank you very much for working with our students this year. As a talented and very approachable adult, you made a positive and lasting impression. You adapted lessons quickly to match learning and emotional abilities. Lessons were fun and full of lighthearted, no pressure, laughter and direction. The kids have left this year with a sense of “I CAN.”

D. Miner, Sowers Alternative High School, Wichita

We are repeat customers and hope to always be. Songs are catchy and entertaining. I connect with the artist and want to hang out on the porch and jam all summer long. The program provides a mix of entertainment and learning. The hope is that more information is retained because it is presented in such a terrific way. Again the artist is amazing at spontaneously changing during the performance and interacting closely with a small group audience.

S. Bates, Anderson Elementary, Wichita

Aaron was excellent in connecting with students and staff. He has an incredible way of reaching out to audiences, feeding them pertinent information.

G. Cravens, Chisholm Life Skills Center

Aaron’s professionalism brought out the best in the students. His experience helped the students gain confidence from the residency.

R. Valdez, 11th grade, Heights High School, Wichita

He was great! He had the 2nd graders mesmerized. Everyone was singing along.
