Anyone have any fun resources for an arts and crafts co op class? We can pretty much pick whatever theme, but I am having trouble coming up with what I am looking for...The age ranges will be from 5-8 and there will be less than 12 kids.

Thank you all :001_smile: You have been very helpful! Now...off to search for a great price for a copy!!

I am interested in using this, but haven't ordered it yet...I see that some used ones have white boards, CD's, and cards with them...how important are these items in the program? Is the book alone enough or do you need the additional items to use it properly? Thanks! Kara *newbie who is drowning in choices for my 9th, 4th, K, and Pre K kiddos :001_unsure:

Anyone have a document like this or something else you use that you would be interested in sharing?

These books are definitely what got my oldest 2 children into reading...They would be so involved in them they couldn't put them down. I definitely think of them as read for pleasure books, but with the added bonus of having some background information on things we will cover later...Gives them a great familiarity to start with. We haven't used their study guides, but I am thinking of getting them for my 2 younger ones. My son is 13 and he still gets excited when there is a new one, and wants to read it right away...my daughter is 8 and she has read and reread them all, and now is reading them to her 5 year old sister during *their* story time! They have been a great 'springboard' for my kids love of reading...
