Harriet and the Promised Land

This is an integrated Arts, Math, Literature, and History Experience based on current elementary classroom curriculum, designed to introduce African American historical figures Harriet Tubman and Jacob Lawrence. Children will read "Harriet and the Promised Land" by Jacob Lawrence, one of America’s most prominent African American artists who told the inspiring story of Harriet Tubman in both verse and paintings. Children will learn about Jacob Lawrence’s body of work as they analyze his paintings' signature style, colors, and geometry; as well as the subject of his book, Harriet Tubman and The Underground Railroad that led so many of her fellow slaves to freedom during the Civil War. Children will spend time reflecting on Tubman and Lawrence's important contributions to American History, and paint their own works of art inspired by these two visionaries.

What Parents Are Saying

Carmel was incredible! She clearly has a ton of experience teaching young children and our daughter had a blast!

Our Grasshopper experience was amazing! I have four very curious kids at different ages with different interests, and the experience had all four of them engaged the whole time. Also, as an educator, I was very impressed with how the teacher led the program. She obviously knew what she was doing, and the minute she left, my kids were asking for another experience.

Ms Carmel gave our kids a super fun experience with their friends and helped us out while we had to work over fall break. She was great with the kids and kept them engaged, learning and having fun!

We LOVED everything about Grasshopper! The customer service experience was exceptional! I felt like so much intentionality was taken to ensure that the activity would be both age appropriate and fun for my kids. Our experience leader was so easy going and chatted with the kids during the experience, and really took the time to engage and get to know them. We are definitely going to be using Grasshopper again! Thank you!

Grasshopper offered my daughter an opportunity to learn in a vibrant, fun setting that was continuously customized for her attention span and interests. Her Grasshopper teacher was fun, engaging and supremely personable. She took the time to get to know my daughter before diving into anything. I felt more than comfortable leaving my daughter in such capable hands…and love that she truly learned some new things from the experience. We will be using Grasshopper regularly to broaden her horizons and expose her to new concepts in a safe and compelling way. The icing on the cake is that the experience took place in our home, at a time that was convenient for us!
