Who would suspect that a tiny little mouse could wear out an
energetic young boy? Well, if you're going to go around giving an exuberantly
bossy rodent
a cookie, be prepared to do one or two more favors for it before your day is
through. He'll certainly need a glass of milk to wash down that cookie, won't
he? And you can't expect him to drink the milk without a straw, can you? By
the time you are finished granting all the mouse's very urgent requests — and
cleaning up after him — it's no wonder your head is becoming a bit heavy.
Laura Numeroff's tale of circular logic is a sure-fire winner in the giggle-generator
category. But, underneath the folly rest valuable lessons about life.
Adapted by Jody Davidson from the book by Laura Numeroff. If You Give a Mouse
a Cookie by Laura Numeroff, illustrated by Felicia Bond.

Workshop - Reaching the Kinesthetic
Learner Through Creative Movement
Tuesday, February 6, 2007
Lied Center
Recommended for teachers of grades K-3
Creative movement provides an opportunity to reach kinesthetic learners in a way that allows them to process and retain information efficiently. In this workshop, led by Kennedy Center teaching artist, Kimberli Boyd, teachers examine ways to enhance the teaching of language arts (and other subjects) through movement. Participants will explore warm-ups, improvisation, and simple structures for composing dances that involve students in active learning.
