With this class we are trying a new format in which students and
instructor will meet for three weekends, one in each of the months of August,
September and October. This format is being used to meet the scheduling
needs of busy students who want to become elementary and middle school teachers.
The schedule is flexible and the activities and lessons may
change to meet the needs of the students and instructor.
