Mary Brooke Casad
will take the students on the enchanting adventures of
Bluebonnet the Armadillo

Monday, March 19th - Brown Elementary (Whitehouse ISD)
Randy Barron
will conduct a 3 hour Professional Development Workshop,
BEST Behaviors
.
Many times teachers are reluctant to engage students in creative movement in the classroom because they are unsure how to guide students to move safely and thoughtfully in a limited space. In this workshop, teachers of all subjects will learn the Elements of Dance (Body, Energy, Space, and Time) and how to connect them to student self-control, as well as, to multiple curriculum contents. Participants will leave with a set of easy-to-duplicate, structured activities that will help them build a physically and emotionally safe classroom environment for student learning and risk-taking through movement.
March 22nd & 23rd - Griffin, Bell & Rice Elementary (TISD)
Storybook Theatre of Texas
is a fun, fast paced show that stresses the importance of character traits as well as acknowledging the need for environmental awareness.
A fractured fairy-tale,
The New Little Red Riding Hood
is
surprisingly different from what you might expect. Wanda Wolf, Granny Red, puppets, songs, lots of interaction, and more make this story a crowd pleaser for all ages!
