Parent letter could be used better. Take-home activity instructions need to be provided for parents either on the worksheet or in the parent letter. Packaging lends itself to three ring notebook. Tabs are helpful. Useful in a classroom or instructor driven setting, but may have limited use with 4-H Cloverbud leaders and youth volunteers.
Most lessons feature lots of listening and observing.
Application to real world situations is sometimes a little weak. More connection needs to be made between the theme of each story and the lesson. Song and physical activity are used as well as print and auditory methods. Food and eating habits are definitely a current societal issue. Reading level, subject matter and learning experiences seem appropriate.
