Description
Storyteller Monica Peterson weaves tales of winter magic. A joyous way to reinforce literacy standards during the long winter months and a perfect non-sectarian program to celebrate the Christmas/Chanukah holiday season. Students sleigh through the streets of Copenhagen with the Snow Queen, fly through the winter skies with a friendly dragon, and visit a land of children. Even conducted virtually, this is an interactive experience with lots of props and audience participation.
