10/28/10 for K-3—Doug Berky performs “Gems: The World’s Wisdom Stories”. He uses classic styles of storytelling from many cultures including masks, mime, puppetry and the power of a good story to introduce this collection of wisdom stories from around the world. All people seek to understand the world, to live in peace, to deal justly with one another. These stories of hope, peace, freedom and justice will inspire while introducing students to literature from other cultures including Greece, India, Native America and tales from Europe and South America.

Lastly, they will take a Mad Science Bubble Bath before getting their own thermo color drinking cup!
