These classes are offered once a week for four weeks. In each class your learner will discover a science principle through fables and fairy tales.  Your learner will be engaged in storytelling, shared reading and science experiments in this interactive class. Each class will begin with a fun storytelling scene introducing some of the best loved fables and fairy tales. In each lessons a science principal that the author incorporated in the story will be introduced through an experiment they can actually do with the teacher. Your learner will enjoy this fun, hands-on approach for the young learner to make literature and science come alive!
