If you've not yet looked at the manual for 2021's Tails & Tales, please take some time in the coming weeks to do so! This is the second year of the new layout with well-developed content from CSLP.

If you don't have the access code to download it from www.cslpreads.org<http://www.cslpreads.org>, please message me directly from an official work email at LancasterC5 at Michigan.gov<mailto:LancasterC5 at Michigan.gov>.  CSLP's Organizational Coordinator Luke Kralik has made 3 short video tutorials on how to easily access the 2021 online manual and art files for #TailsandTales.

School's Out! Challenges and Solutions for School-Age Programs: Meaningful Activities from EdWeb.net
Wednesday, November 18th
2:00 PM ET
The recording will be posted on this page<https://home.edweb.net/webinar/bookchats20201118/> after the live session.
Professionals who work with school-age children in out-of-school environments often struggle with ways to keep the children engaged in programs that run before and after the structured school day. Children have varied needs, and program staff are often dealing with challenges such as a restrictive environment, mixed groupings, and varied schedules.
Within the context of child development, this edWebinar, based upon the new book of the same title, offers a child-centered approach to developing activities that engage and enhance the program. Participants will explore a number of common challenges along with some possible solutions that can be adapted and applied in their work.  Register with edWeb.net: https://home.edweb.net/webinar/bookchats20201118/.
