About this title

From the Author:

 
       I am a second year pre-K teacher ...... Coincidentally, for Christmas last year, my son's uncle got him your book, "Workshop for Kids." I am just now looking through it for ideas for my class as I prepare for the next few weeks of instruction. I am struck by how well your book suits my needs as an educator of young children. I love to work with wood, and have fond memories of doing so as a young child, but I am no expert. Your advice and directions are clear and simple and give me the confidence that I can knowledgeably present this material to young children.  I ESPECIALLY appreciate how you mention what your learned from your own experience with young children so I can anticipate and avoid the same pitfalls. Thank you for being by my side........ as I introduce my young students to the joys of working with wood. Laurie Franzino, Jr. K Teacher Waterside School
