So, I contacted my local library to see about volunteering for school, and we started talking and Mermaiding came up (because I somehow manage to throw it into every conversation!) The volunteer coordinator seemed really interested in the idea of "Mermaid Morganna" doing appearances.
I would be reading stories with an educational theme. Most of the books would be the same ones I read to the disabled children I used to work with. They teach interpersonal skills (being polite and making friends), taking responsibility (don't lie to get out of trouble) and environmental preservation (don't waste water, recycling is important, etc) and a few that are just learning about sea creatures. We would also be doing art projects either every week or every other week.
I am excited and really hope this works out in my favor!
Anyway...does anybody who may have more experience performing than I do have any tips or suggestions? Also, even though my list of children's books that I have lesson plans to is long, I would love anybody's input on Oean-y books to read or recycled art projects to do. Google can only get me so far! lol
Thanks!!!
(SO EXCITED!!!!!! )
