Campfire Friday #blessings13

#blessings13 …We are so blessed to share in playful imagination and watch how it transforms into so much more…Our kindergarteners develop oral language skills as they share and dictate stories to the teachers on Mondays.   The elements of stories include characters, settings, problems and conclusions, it develops as the stories are acted out in a very special way.  
Fridays are Campfire Story Days in kindergarten.  The lights are lowered and a log of "flickering candles" creates the ambiance for theatre.  A campfire song is sung, hands are warmed by the log and marshmallows are toasted.  That delicious toasted marshmallow is popped into our mouths and we are quieted for the story to evolve as the actors take center stage.
