These self-contained curriculum units include all the materials you need to engage in meaningful science instruction and experiments with up to 25 students. No need to hunt for special items. All supplies, student notebooks and teaching manuals are included, neatly packaged and labeled for each of the investigations within each of the 4 topics.

| YYOL | Empowering kids to discover their inner "cheer" leader. | 0 | Feb 22 2008, 5:41 PM EST by YYOL | |

A children’s self esteem program for use in early learning environments (3-8 year olds) through child care, educators (pre K-2nd grade), parents and children’s ministry.
The core of the program that I feel is unique to other projects available is two fold: 1) YYOL sends the message early as a foundational building block that when the going gets tough, you are your own best “cheer” leader; vs. a “fix it” later remedy. 2) The YEAH YEAH Out Loud theme helps the child realize the “cheer” leader lies within. The picture book story of Hur-Ray encouraging Kiddazy to grow into a flower and get a YYOL face (just like Hur-Ray’s) confirms that it is only after Kiddazy cheers on the other sprouts in a “pay it forward” fashion, does the understanding that it is in the cheering on of others, lies Kiddazy’s own self-esteem, and YYOL is actualized. The “program package” includes: -YEAH YEAH Out Loud; the story of Hur-Ray and Kiddazy -Hur-Ray and Kiddazy puppets -Download access for education/activity guides and worksheets -Stickers to use with/for kids -All in a YYOL tote bag It is currently being used in day care, Kindergarten, 1st grade, Children’s ministry, various counseling outlets, a library district in eastern WA, and Portland Parks and Rec, YWCA-Vancouver is reviewing and testing now! We currently have the suggested script for the book translated into German and Spanish. The book itself has no words, (our program is applicable through 2nd grade; although we also have seen it put to great use with high school kids mentoring to the younger ones….). Thanks for being a Cheer Leader! Yeah Yeah www.yeahyeahoutloud.com KF Carpenter 360-901-4260 |
