What a Fun Way to Learn!,
By Linda B. Michael (League City, TX USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Improvisation: Use What You Know, Make Up What You Don't (2nd Edition) (Paperback)
This great resource uses movement and games to practice and teach basic skills with creativity, humor, and and higher level thinking skills. Based on the latest brain research and practical classroom experience, this book provides ways to allow the kids with "other gifts" to shine and be successful. Fast paced and fun, the activities sneak in learning without students noticing. It is an extremely useful resource for working with any age level.
