It's ELECTRIC!

What happens when you combine LOTS of kids of all ages, the Arizona State Fair, PBS KIDS Electric Company, and Eight Educational Outreach: ASSET?

Take a look at the slide show and see! Beatboxing with Shock, coloring, races to make words and guess sounds and a LOT OF FUN!

Thank you PBS KIDS Raising Readers, Corporation for Public Broadcasting and Shock for making this event a success in Arizona!

P.S.... Parents and educators have you SEEN these resources??? WOW!
