READING RUG: GIVE ME A BEAT
Clap your hands and make a sound – because we’re exploring rhythms all around! Students will stomp and clap as they explore rhythms in art, find their groove during the story Hand, Hand, Fingers, Thumb by Al Perkins, discover the noisy fun of percussion, and create their own musical instrument.
Studio Art Kits include a campus copy of Hand, Hand, Fingers, Thumb by Al Perkins and 1 hand-drum for each student to design during the Art Studio portion of the project. Classroom teachers will need to supply crayons or markers for portions of the project.
READING RUG: THERE’S A BEAR OUT THERE

SHHH! Tiptoe along with us as we take a peek at the sleeping bear outside of the museum! Students will roar with joy as we snore like bears, cuddle up for the story, Bear Can’t Sleep by Karma Wilson, and put our paws to work making our “beary” own sculpture using model magic. This program will be available in Spring 2023.
Studio Art Kits include a classroom copy of Bear Can’t Sleep by Karma Wilson and one 1-oz. packet of model magic for each student to sculpt with during the Art Studio portion of the project. Classroom teachers will need to supply washable markers for portions of the project.
