Great ways to use literature to tap into their imagination.
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. 🙂
