Description
Lynn Baskind and Willy Welch present a dynamic, interactive theatrical performance! Using fun-loving stories, songs, puppets and interactive games, Lynn and Willy explore creative ways to make math more meaningful and lots of fun. The strong visual and kinesthetic contents of the show will help students to understand and master skills like number recognition, addition, subtraction, skip counting, problem solving, doubling, fractions, multiplication and division. The content of the show will be specifically appropriate to grade level. The visual arts components using colorful pictures, props and puppets help to create a spectacular performance. Lynn demonstrates how puppets are made and shares her creative processes making up the stories. This very popular program has been consistently rebooked by schools, year after year throughout the Metroplex. The performance is super appropriate for PTA parent-student meetings and Kindergarten parent-students events. Visit Lynn's Facebook page https://www.facebook.com/lynnbaskind/
