By A Customer

Dancing Hearts: Creative Arts with Books Kids Love is a wonderful tool for elementary school teachers and homeschooling parents to use. Martha Brady's creative ideas incorporate multiple intelligences so that all students may enjoy and learn from the 20 trade books she suggests. My students have loved our literature based activities and have learned more about themselves too.
