Storytellers

Silver Room friends delight in opportunities to tap into their imaginations and create rich and elaborate stories! During a small group, some students worked together to write a collaborative story. Each child got to add a sentence/idea to the story as the narrative traveled around the table.

 

Then each student got to write their own story to take home!

 

As our storytelling work continues, we will focus on how to tell stories that have a beginning, middle, and end. One great tool for this work is to have a piece of paper with three sections. You can do this by folding a blank piece of paper into thirds and drawing lines to create the three sections. Then write a “B” for beginning, a “M” for middle, and a “E” for end at the top of the sections. This helps organize children’s thinking and planning with storytelling!
