Description
Listen, look, and build. We offer a whole library of projects to help our students get in touch with wonderful stories by honoring them with a design that allows even the youngest child to make his own vision of that story character. Great for literacy and dexterity. See descriptions below. (Click on the thumbnails to go to an inner page. Then click on the image there to see it larger.)
A perfect program for Distance Learning using Screen Sharing techniques that allow the child to see the pictures and the words of the story on the full screen – not just a book waving around in front of the camera as the story is being read. And the projects are designed for Pre-K and up to build independently.
Past programs include Six Crows or Frederick by Leo Leonni; From Head to Toe by Eric Carle; My Painted House, My Friendly Chicken, and Me by Maya Angelou, and more.
