Primary Education Thinking Skills, or PETS, is an amazing curriculum that introduces all students, including gifted learners, to higher order thinking skills through the use of imaginative characters, unique stories, and challenging enrichment activities. This two hour hands-on workshop for Kindergarten-3rd grade teachers will provide participants with an interactive introduction to the PETS Curriculum, including whole group and small group activities, and how they can implement the curriculum in their classrooms to help their students develop critical thinking and problem solving skills in a fun, imaginative way! While you do not need to have the Curriculum to participate in the workshop, you will want to invest in all four books after you see the positive impact it will have on all students!
