Please join us for an engaging, hands-on artmaking experience designed for Expanded Learning Opportunities Program (ELOP) facilitators. This session highlights how art can build confidence, creativity, and connection through meaningful, student-centered experiences. In this interactive professional learning session, participants will experiment with watercolors to create collages that tell stories about themselves, their experiences, and what matters to them.
This session explores how visual art can go beyond copying a finished example and instead invite students to share ideas, feelings, and perspectives through creative choice. Using playful exploration and imagination, participants will experience how artmaking supports cognitive skills such as observation, problem-solving, and making meaning.
Rooted in real-world application, this session models simple, flexible strategies that can be easily used in expanded learning settings. While the content is designed with early elementary learners in mind, participants will explore ways to adapt watercolor and collage activities for students of all ages.

Thank you for your interest in the workshop, Stories, Imagination, and Creativity Come Alive: Expression Through Puppetry and Theatre.

We are rescheduling the workshop originally planned for December 3 to a new date in 2027.

Please add your name to the interest list. We will share the updated registration information once the new date is confirmed.

Please join us for a joyful, hands-on theatre experience designed for Expanded Learning facilitators. In this interactive session, participants will create sock puppets and engage in theatre activities that use imaginative play to support storytelling and self-expression. Through puppetry and movement, participants will explore how theatre encourages creativity while developing important cognitive skills such as communication, perspective-taking, and problem-solving. Open-ended play allows students to share ideas, emotions, and experiences in ways that feel safe, fun, and engaging. Rooted in real-world application, this session models low-cost, easy-to-use strategies for expanded learning environments. While developed for early elementary learners, participants will learn how to adapt puppetry and theatre activities for all age levels. Hosted by the County Office of Education’s Arts Education Coordinator, this session invites facilitators to play, imagine, and discover how theatre can spark connection, confidence, and creativity.
