"Kids on the Block" Came to 3rd Grade!

"Kids on the Block" came to the third grade classrooms to talk to us about how we should treat people who may be different than us.  This is a very special program that uses puppets to teach students about tolerance.

"Viewing a Kids on the Block performance is an unforgettable educational experience. The "kids" vividly and effectively model relationships between people, both with and without disabilities, by using frank and often humorous communication of facts and feeling between the puppet characters and the audience." 

-- quote from "Kids on the Block" website

Our students loved the puppets!  They enjoyed learning about each and every one of them, differences and similarities.  They also liked being able to ask them questions about their disabilities.
