Parent Workshops

Randy Gaschler with IEM, The Charter School Movement

Lisa Avila ~ Lap-books and Unit Studies:

Unit study involves taking one topic or subject and creatively building an entire curriculum around it.  Unit studies stimulate creativity and expand retention of topics studied. Lap books "showcase" what a child has accomplished during a unit of study by creating books with paper, scissors, glue and child's artwork.  There will be a drawing for a prize during the Unit Study/Lap Book workshop.
