Welcome, K - 2nd Graders!
Ready for adventure?

Movies at the Theater!
(Includes six Author Visit / Movie Theater experiences.)
We're going to the movies! Each book in this learning series is featured as a 'Now Playing' attraction at this very special venue. Simply click on the 'movie' you want to watch, the Author does the rest. Each of the six picture books (and 'movies') below highlight Craft and Structure, Poetry and Author's Purpose. They also lend positive examples of Social and Emotional Development. However, each session also features its own, unique standards which are listed next to the books below.
