    Great course for elementary. I thought it said it was for creating stations for elementary and middle school age students.

  5. Romelia – UNITED ISD (verified owner)

    Great ways to use literature to tap into their imagination.

  6. Monica – BOERNE ISD (verified owner)

    The title can be misleading. I thought it would be more about hands on creating stations in small groups. I did love this though. I loved listening to how I can use read aloud to build my students creativity and can’t wait to use many of the ideas in the fall. 🙂
