 Children's Books in the Classroom
 
 Erick Carle Museum of Picture Book Art in Amherst, MA.
 
 Saturday, March 23, 10:00 a.m.
 
 With all the buzz about the Common Core for ELA and its potential to
 impact curriculum in all content areas, STEM educators, as well as
 others interested in bringing ELA experiences into their classroom
 are invited to attend a special workshop offered by the Society of
 Childrens Book Writers and Illustrators-New England. This program,
 From Creative Process to Curriculum Connections: Childrens Books in
 the Classroom will be held on Saturday, March 23, 10:00 a.m.  3:30
 p.m. at the Erick Carle Museum of Picture Book Art in Amherst, MA.
 Registration is required ($25) by March 15. Bring a colleague and
 enjoy the opportunity to hear from accomplished panelists including
 faculty from Lesley University and published childrens authors. While
 not targeted specifically for STEM fields, the content is flexible
 enough to be useful to any educator looking to bring reading and
 writing into their classrooms. Topics include: Developing Curriculum
 Connections for Fiction, Exploring Picture Book Biography, and
 Writers Research and Craft.  Plan to leave inspired and with ideas
 you can use in your classroom.
