Making a story circle. The children sat in a circle and used their bodies to retell the story they created.
We also used a triangle to write our story. This story takes place by an old oak tree. The squirrel gathers the nuts, the deer bangs into the tree and all of squirrel's nuts fall to the ground. A bird helps the squirrel to gather his nuts again.
Retelling the story using our bodies.
This is the old oak tree.
Leigh-Anne was the tallest part of our oak tree.
The afternoon class busy creating their story.
This story takes place by an apple tree. The teenager is collecting the apples and the dancing squirrel bumps into the tree and makes more apples fall. The bird helps the boy collect his apples.
Acting in our personal spotlights.
We even spent part of this afternoon outside, picking a tree for our last story.
The boys and girls voted on the spiky pine tree for our story.
We have learned so much about writing stories, trees and nature. The boys and girls are going to miss their visits with Leigh-Anne so much! I will certainly continue to use all of Leigh-Anne's strategies and fun ideas to create stories with the kindergarten students all year long.
