We are offering a 40 - 60 Minute interactive lesson for K-3 Students that is fun and interactive. The hook for kids is a magic show that consists of 3 tricks. Woven within each trick is a lesson, that teaches students to understand children with special needs are part of their community. Each lesson focuses on empathy and understanding. The goal for this workshop is to reduce bullying and misunderstandings regarding children with special needs.
