Join us on a Storybook Journey using a book as a springboard for exploring STEM, building on content and concept knowledge, and engaging a community of learners. Storybook Journeys use an emergent curriculum approach to engaging children's inquiry, curiosity, and wonder through literature. While Storybook Journeys can be used for all domains of learning this workshop will explore them through a STEM focus designed to inspire children's imaginations and fuel their inquiry, experiments, and hypotheses. This will be a hands-on session where participants will learn about and create their own Storybook Journey.
The practice sessions following the workshop offer participants an opportunity to share the Storybook Journey they created. This gives us time to share feedback, solicit suggestions, and help everyone gain new ideas we can use for future thematic units and lesson planning. Participants are expected to attend one practice session to present their Storybook Journey on either May 19th or 21st. If you would like to attend both to learn more ideas from each other, you are welcome to do so.
This PD offers 4.5 training hours.
