Traveling Trunks

An Educational Resource for teachers.

ImagineU Children's Museum, through a grant by the City of Visalia Community Arts Program, has developed several Traveling Trunks. These Trunks were developed by teachers for teachers. They contain lesson plans that incorporate a variety of learning modalities including visual, tactile, and auditory. The Trunks also integrate California standards for art, science, language arts and social studies. They are intended to provide a rich learning experience that will be memorable for students.
