Living Literacy Beyond Books –
How children read their world through Emotional &  Physical Literacies

Part 1: Emotional Literacy (EL)
In the first half of this workshop, MaraLea will begin with an intro to “literacy". Emotional literacy begins with our first experiences “reading” and perceiving the world. In light of current events, providers will understand the importance of emotional literacy and become better equipped to hadnle the types of questions children may have.

Part 2: Physical Literacy (PL) 
The second half of the workshop will bring incorporate themes from MaraLea's popular other series, "The Way They Move". You will be able to challenge yourselves and find creative and purposeful ways to harness movement. You will learn the importance of physical ‘literacy’ as a language of connections through which humans understand their world in times of stress and joy, and engage in some group activities. 

Health & Safety Requirements:
Participants will be asked for confirmation of vaccination status. Masks are optional. 

*Snacks will be provided for this workshop and there will be a 30 minute lunch break between the two sections. Participants are responsible for providing their own lunch. 

Location: The Richmond Caring Place
