The Start With A Story program ties the books of New York Times best-selling author/illustrator Peter H. Reynolds to hands-on and technology-based activities/projects. Each lesson pack focuses on one book and includes five lessons designed for students in grades K-5.
Each lesson is flexible and easily adapted to fit the time you have, but typically the experience will provide 1-2 hours of learning. Each lesson starts, of course, with a Peter H. Reynolds book reading, followed by a growth mindset activity, and/or a team-building activity before moving onto animation, engineering, and journaling. This program is a perfect addition to school libraries for easy ways to offer scaffolded, story-driven learning.
BONUS: If you have a subscription to Animation-ish and/or FabMaker Studio, we have included additional activities that leverage those software tools!
