The Bottom Line
I love the idea that you can get lesson plans, a workbook, certificates, activities and materials to take you through a year's worth of teaching cheer classes to preschoolers. Also included was a CD and stamps. It might seem like a high price to pay initially, but when you consider what all you're getting, it's worth the investment if you want to start teaching cheer to young children.

Guide Review - Tumblebear Connections - Instructional Materials
Since 1981, Patti Komara has been helping people grow their cheer, gymnastic, dance, yoga and gym programs with speeches, articles and instructional materials. She is well known in the industry and has received many awards. So, it stands to reason that the CheerBears lesson plan package I reviewed was informative and very helpful. Teaching is an art and Patti has taken the guess work out of the process with this package. Geared towards the preschool crowd, I found the materials helped capture the children's attention and hold it. All materials are available online and the site offers video clips and descriptions.
