Red Herring Puppets provide instructional materials to correspond with <br /> their performance, which are distributed to MES teachers. Each teacher is responsible for <br /> integrating these materials and the performances with the curriculum in each classroom. These <br /> linkages most often take place on a grade-wide level, with teacher teams in each grade using <br /> the same lesson in their classrooms. These lessons are also reinforced during relevant <br /> specials' classes (e.g., art, music, library). <br /> Page 5 of 21 <br />
