The
Kids on the Block in the Classroom
The
Kids on the Block of Child and Family Tennessee has always
focused on our puppet shows as education presented
in an entertaining way. With the push to meet state
standards, we think it necessary to help teachers and
administrators understand how KOTB of CFT fits into
the Tennessee State Curriculum. Below is a chart which details
just a few of the state (and National) standards that all
of our performances meet or exceed. Remember: Each puppet
show is different and may meet other state standards. Check
with your school district to verify other ways that KOTB of
CFT can help your students succeed.
