Wilamina is a compelling character, whose lowly upbringing is oh so relatable to the sub 5 population
A worm with a mission? PAY DIRT! Wilamina comes from a long lineage of recyclers, and the children's library she lives in has all the recycling tools she needs. The crux of her mission is delivering a most important message: People are not recycling! With Wila, getting there is half the fun
Wila's view from the bottom of the food chain has its parallels in early childhood what she discovers about herself and her humans leads us on a wild goose chase into the development of self realization, confidence and education with a little historically styled tongue in cheek references thrown in for a parent's good measure.
like a dog with a bone, but with bigger fish to fry...
WE BEGIN...
With a story of Wila and her mission, and organically build within the interface of these pages, a 'learning landscape' with which the student can engage, to act out the repeat, reuse, recycle of the most effective words to work towards the desired outcome, before moving on to greater recycling challenges.
Wila's Guiding Principles:
1. Words are our first and most valuable tools
2. Never underestimate the power of a child's intelligence or understanding
3. Children will consume as much of an adult's time as adults have to offer...Hence, Wila!
4. Practice makes perfect, (supported in part by kid friendly interactive programming)
5. Children's capabilities can rise to the level of those around them.
6. With Holistic education, fostering a comprehensive approach to teaching where educators seek to address the emotional, social, ethical, and academic needs of students in an integrated learning format.
