Was thrilled to tag-a-long on a school field trip to the Chicago Architecture Foundation Read & Build : Goodnight, Goodnight Construction Site.
It was a blast for both the kids and chaperones - we highly recommend it for families to attend!
The CAF did a great job with the kids; read well, interacting with the kids throughout the story; and then kids were able to build with blocks and create their own tractor.
Noteworthy:
- The whole activity was well themed, with the book really getting kids excited to build and create.
- The highlight was the model version of Chicago in the lobby -- the kids loved pointing out the river, John Hancock, Willis Tower, Soldier Field, and looking for their school.
- The Read & Build program curriculum changes each month.
