Little Pine Trees Book Club (Age 9-11)

August 25, 2023 @ 10:00 am - 11:00 am

FREE

August 25 from 10:00 – 11:00 am

Join Stefanie for story time, followed by hands-on tinkering and learning activities. Students will participate in a picture book read-aloud and then have time to explore the book’s theme with hands-on STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics) activities. Children learn best through hands-on exploration and play, and this in conjunction with literacy is a fantastic way to “spark” their interest in real-world concepts and learning. Students will leave with new friends, sparked curiosity and joy, and a deeper excitement for reading and learning. Parents or guardians are welcome, but not required, to stay with their child for the duration of the class. All supplies included. Please enter through the Penn Avenue door.

Teaching Artist: Stefanie Holloway

Stefanie Holloway was a classroom English and Literacy teacher before she pursued and attained a Doctorate in Education, Curriculum and Instruction. Over the past decade, she has spent time in classrooms across diverse content areas and worked with learners of all ages – spanning from preschool to pre-service teachers at the university level. She is very passionate about helping students develop creative and critical thinking skills and inspiring them to think outside-of-the-box about how they can contribute in a positive way to the world around them.
