Supercharged Storytimes Learning Group(s) Begin
This course will Supercharge your Storytimes using early literacy strategies that prepare children to learn to read, and it’s offered entirely Free to you. Working through the self-paced course available from WebJunction together in a learning group will provide you with motivation to stay on track and a place to share ideas and insights with your New Hampshire peers.
The course is comprised of six modules and the learning group will allow two weeks in between modules for the applied learning. There is 6+ hours of video throughout the entire six modules and you should plan for 3 hours of learning within each module.
Once you register here, I will send you a code to login to our learning group’s Google Classroom. Please introduce yourself before we begin any modules. Module Discussions will be posted:
Module 1 Wednesday, Jan. 9
Module 2 Wednesday, Jan 23
Module 3 Wednesday, Feb 6
Module 4, Wednesday, Feb 20
Module 5, Wednesday, March 6
Module 6, Wednesday, March 20
A certificate of completion will be issued by myself with the requirement of one response weekly.
I most likely will break this up into regional learning groups for easier access to your peers and our in-person meeting in the spring.
Looking forward to being your facilitator or guide through the structure and pace of the course material. Please email me at Deborah.Dutcher@dncr.nh.gov with any questions or concerns.
Watch for the “Intentional Storytimes” series coming in 2019!!
SIGN UP FOR THIS LEARNING GROUP IS OPEN UNTIL Jan 2, 2019.

About the workshop:
The workshop will begin with a brief performance. This will be followed by a discussion of different types of puppets and uses of puppets. Participants will then have the opportunity for hands on work with puppets to learn puppetry techniques. This includes movement using fingers, wrists and arms followed by mouth movement and “voices”. The participants then perform very short skits to practice these techniques. A wide variety of puppets for the participants to see and work with will be on hand.
