Congratulations to the Center for Puppetry Arts in Atlanta, GA, for being voted the 2007-2008 Favorite Content Provider by New Links to New Learning schools! St. Louis educators appreciate all the hard work the staff in the distance learning department puts into their videoconferences (and the friendly, thorough service that comes along with it). As their website says, ‘the Center for Puppetry Arts uses the latest technology to offer nationwide Distance Learning programs for Pre K-12. Hands-on puppet building workshops are conducted via videoconferencing and are tailored to specific classroom topics and curriculum. The arts are infused with science, social studies, language arts and other disciplines to create a dynamic, interactive virtual classroom for a virtual field trip experience. Programs complement national curriculum standards in language arts, social studies, science, math and other areas. The Center provides a comprehensive study guide and materials list for most programs.’
Again, congratulations from New Links to New Learning members to:
Patty Petrey Dees, Distance Learning Program Director
Deborah Bowman, Distance Learning Coordinator
Iyabo Shabazz, Distance Learning Assistant
Sara Burmenko, Distance Learning Assistant

Got this yesterday:
Our 4 Butterfly Puppetry Arts v/c on May 5 and 6 were very
well received by teachers and students. All were first timers to videoconferences and all were stimulated with new information and new creative extensions to their learning. The Center teachers were very good with our 2nd grade students. The first group wants to make a puppet show about their butterflies. They have been writing stories similar to Diary of a Worm from research they have done about various animals, so they are really on a writer’s workshop roll. Thanks for all your help getting us these videoconferences and an additional booking as well.
Sincerely yours,
