Synopsis

Motivate young students and extend their learning into the home environment with project kits designed around book themes. Combining books with manipulatives and activity ideas, the authors put it all together in such containers as bags, boxes, and cookie tins so students can learn at home with family members. Step-by-step instructions guide educators in assembling these storycases, which are based on popular children's titles, such as Chicka Chicka Boom Boom and If You Give a Mouse a Cookie. For each book there is a summary, an activity, a materials list, as well as patterns, reproducibles, and additional notes when necessary. All projects have been prepared and completed successfully with students and are adaptable to many environments. Once assembled, the storycases can be used again and again. Great for Title I programs.
