Our last meeting
Sunday, July 20th, 2008 2:10 - 5pm.
Kim Horne presented " Kim's Summer Song & Chant Boot Camp "
"Kim's brought back some classics and a lot of new material! She helped us explore songs, chants, games and other activities that bring language and laughter to young children. We learned to awaken our students' senses by learning and practicing English with engaging multi-sensory activities that span a wide range of ages and interests. This energetic presentation sent us home with great ideas to supplement our curriculum and make learning fun for everyone!”
Thank you Kim!!!
