Upcoming Sessions

Upcoming Sessions

| 4:00 pm – 6:00 pm

Explore the frog life cycle through simple shapes, lines and watercolor magic inspired by “Little Frog.” Participants will leave with ready‑to‑use drawing guides, printable templates and creative extensions to spark science, literacy and art connections in the classroom.

| 4:00 pm – 6:00 pm

Discover how play and the science of reading work hand in hand. This session explores how literacy centers, block play and dramatic play can strengthen phonological awareness in early learners. Walk away with ready-to-use activities that bring early literacy skills and joy back into the classroom.

| 4:00 pm – 6:00 pm

Young children are natural scientists eager to explore their senses. This hands-on workshop uses edible activities — like popcorn ball sculptures and cereal patterning — to spark curiosity while building science and literacy skills. Participants will leave with cross‑curricular strategies that nurture brain development and inspire meaningful classroom connections.
