Workshop II:  Enriching Fitness and the Arts: Folding in Literacy without Losing the Fun

Elise Scott, Connecticut After School Network
This interactive training introduces concepts and strategies for folding age-appropriate Literacy learning into arts, crafts, sports, and fitness activities from basketball to papier mâché and beyond.  Rather than trading fun for enrichment, learn how to increase the fun and also engage those children who are usually less engaged during active or creative activities.  Align to the National Common Core effortlessly!  The training includes key tools and strategies as well as hands-on learning opportunities.  Come ready to play and learn!

Workshop III: Infusing STEM and Science Fun into Summer Programming
