<p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'>Hi all, here’s a quick
description of what we’re trying.</span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'> </span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'>At Cornelius, we decided with
the holidays coming up that we just needed to jump in and do it. So we scheduled
six 1-hour workshops (actually 12 – 1 set in Spanish) right after our
pre-school story times. We’re going to tackle one topic we are
comfortable with at each session, including a song, demo a book, give a
statistic or 2 and discuss the related concept. We’re also welcoming
children to participate, since we know that often makes a difference if
caregivers can come. We are doing some general advertising, but doing some
targeted promotion to specific parent groups we know at Head Start, etc.
Attached is the DRAFT of our English version of the flyer.</span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'> </span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'>Attendance has been low, but
building. Allowing children has been critical to parents, but a challenge for
us. – I’d still recommend it!</span></p>
