Book Jen for a FUN SEL + STEAM-themed School Visit
Each session will include: An Introduction from Jen with a SOCIAL-EMOTIONAL LEARNING emphasis on Persistence and Determination.
Next, Jen will deliver an ENERGETIC and HUMOROUS reading of her book, The Ghost Who Saved Halloween, with INTERACTIVE moments for DETECTING CONTEXT CLUES, CALL AND RESPONSE, and PREDICTION.
For younger audiences: Jen will invite students to SHARE how they saw Ghost use his persistence and determination, and we’ll EXPLORE “How was Ghost feeling here?” “How was Spider helping?” “How did Ghost make things right?” etc.
For older audiences: Jen can steer into the STEAM aspect of the book, working with the students to first PLAN and then ENGINEER their very own “Scare Machine” like Ghost built in the story – A FUN and INTERACTIVE project with optional worksheet for classroom application or homework.
Finally, Jen will welcome a round of a Q&A (both sporadic or teacher-curated questions are welcomed).
