Synopsis

Building a classroom community of students who are engaged and ready to learn takes time and effort. So why not use hands-on activities to build academic skills and student trust and rapport at the same time.

Jane Feber s award-winning, hands-on approach to learning gives you ready-to-go activities that engage all learners and add academic muscle to your curriculum.

These classroom-proven activities are fun, and they are all aligned to Common Core Standards. Flexible and easy to do, the projects are ready to go and fit easily into any teaching day and curriculum.

Feber s practical approach transforms inexpensive, commonly found supplies into powerful learning tools that build rapport and academic skills across the curriculum.
